A 30 years old male presented with fever, headache, myalgia, anorexia, petechial haemorrhage, easy bruising, gum bleeding and purpuric rash. Initially it appeared to be a case of autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) but finally our patient was diagnosed as a case of immune thrombocytopenia due to hepatitis B-virus infection.

Assessment of the replicative status and activity of liver disease of the patient was done.
