Platelets are also called thrombocytes. ‘Thrombocytopenic’ means the blood does not have enough platelets. ‘Purpura’ means a person has excessive bruising. It is an autoimmune disease  in which your immune system attacks and destroys its own platelets. Platelets are produced in bone marrow. These cells are very necessary for normal blood clotting. They seal minor cuts or small tear in blood vessels wall and tissues. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, is also called immune thrombocytopenia. It can happen in adults or children. ITP usually resolves in children of its own without treatment, but it becomes a long term condition in adults.

People with ITP often develop purple color bruises called purpura on the skin or mucous membrane inside the mouth. These bruises look like a small bead sized red or purple dots on the skin called petechiae. Petechiae usually look like a rash.
