Good response to cyclosporin in a child with acquired thrombocytopenic purpura.

Acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia is an unusual hematological disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia along with markedly diminished megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. There is no uniform consensus on the treatment and the case reports in pediatric age group are few. The authors report a child with this condition who responded to cyclosporine alone.
