Abstract

Objective: To describe a rare case of thrombocytopenia secondary to iron deficiency. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 34-year-old woman presented with severe microcytic hypochromic anemia and thrombocytopenia. Her ferritin was 1 ng/dl. A diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia and thrombocytopenia was made and the patient was treated with packed red blood cell transfusion and intravenous iron. Thrombocytopenia rapidly improved to normal. Conclusion: This case showed that iron deficiency should be considered as a cause of thrombocytopenia in the appropriate setting after ruling out common causes.
