- One rare hematological complication associated with TB is immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), which was observed in a case involving a 22-year-old woman with ganglionic tuberculosis.
- Treatment of this case involved a combination of intravenous immunoglobulin, high-dose corticosteroids, and anti-tubercular therapy, leading to positive results.
