Background: Previous studies about the relationship between bone marrow megakaryocyte count and the chronicity of ITP has yielded paradoxical results. The aim of the present study was to investigate any relationship between the megakaryocyte count in the bone marrow and the chronicity of ITP. Materials and Methods: This study was performed to compare the primary bone marrow aspiration megakar...
