Abstract
A 23‐year‐old female presented with widespread purpura and ecchymoses as a result of immune thrombocytopenia which was refractory to corticosteroids, splenectomy, and immunosuppressive agents. In view of the extent and serious nature of her bleeding, salvage therapy with etoposide‐loaded platelets was undertaken, which was associated with a lasting complete remission.Keywords
