Abstract

Amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia is a rare variety of bone marrow aplasia characterized by thrombocytopenia in association with markedly diminished bone marrow megakaryocytes. It can occur as a component of aplastic anaemia or as an isolated form. Here we report a case of a teenage girl presented with bleeding per vagina and generalized weakness which is diagnosed as a case of amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia by bone marrow examination. It will evolve into aplastic anaemia with the course of the disease.
