ABSTRACT
A 43 years male presented with recurrent epistaxis and had generalised lymphadenopathy on examination. No haematological disorder could be established even after bone marrow aspiration and biopsy but the patient was found to have tuberculosis of the lymph node on histopathology, with severe thrombocytopenia in the peripheral blood and increased platelet precursor in the marrow suggesting peripheral platelet destruction. Anti-tuberculous therapy was started but the patient died due to subarachnoid haemorrhage.
