The symptomatology of thrombocytopenia varies greatly and the underlying cause may be either inconsequential&#13;
(pseudo-thrombocytopenia) or life threatening.&#13;
Aims and Objectives: To evaluate different causes of thrombocytopenia along with study of clinical profile and laboratory parameters in patients with thrombocytopenia. Materials and Method: A total of 100 patients with thrombocytopenia admitted to Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad and were evaluated. Patients with platelet count __ampersandsignlt;1 lack/mm3 were included in study whereas patients with malignancy and chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia were excluded.&#13;
Results: The present study includes age group 13-70 years. The highest incidence of thrombocytopenia belonged to the age group 21-30 years (30%) followed by 13-20 years (24%) and 31-40 years (22%).The diseases that causes thrombocytopenia commonly like Megaloblastic anemia and infections (malaria, dengue, enteric fever, and septicemia) are common in younger population. Our study shows almost __ampersandsignfrac34; of total patients were below age of 40 years.&#13;
Conclusion: Bleeding manifestations were present in 1/3rd of patients and the common site is skin and mucous membrane in 1/3rd patients the main cause of which was ITP and majority patients had platelet count __ampersandsignlt;20,000/__ampersandsignmu;l.&#13;
