This case showed that homeopathic medicine can be a treatment modality for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), an autoimmune-mediated hematologic disorder.<br /> <strong>Case Presentation:</strong> The patient was a 5.5–year-old child with ITP who referred to the homeopathic clinic with extensive petechiae and purpura on her body. Her platelet count was 15000/mcL and her anti-dsDNA and ANA were negative on her first visit. Her disease had first been diagnosed at the age of 2.5 years. She had undergone routine therapy for ITP; however, despite 15 months of corticosteroid therapy and IVIG injections, her platelet count was still low. After treatment with homeopathic remedies, her platelet count increased and signs of ITP disappeared. <br /> <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Homeopathic remedies can be considered as complementary and alternative medicines for ITP treatment protocols. https://www.jhpr.ir/article_31962_3f41d2337b29507d20a2fdd7f8305110.pdf
