Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by low platelet count and skin-mucosal bleeding. In adults it is usually idiopathic and may have a chronic onset, while in children it is usually acute following a viral illness. Dengue has been rarely reported as a cause of ITP. We report a case of a young adult woman that presented with acute ITP following a dengue virus infection.
