Abstract
Besides cytopenia related to treatment, several hematological disorders such as anemia, abnormal platelet activity, thrombosis, presence of anticardiolipin or anti-neutrophil antibodies, cyclic neutropenia, and myelodysplasia, have been reported in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The case we report here is the first one documenting the association of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) with CD.
