Abstract
The association between ulcerative colitis (UC) and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) has been suggested by sporadic case reports. Prior reports have focused on the role of medical therapy and/or splenectomy for control of concurrent ITP and UC. We report a case of a patient with UC and ITP who was poorly controlled on maximal medical therapy for these two disorders and underwent a colectomy that cured both diseases.Entities:
