Popis:	The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate the effectiveness of phytotherapy on a severe and complicated Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) patient who had failed with conventional treatments. A male patient presented with clinical symptoms of ITP and had been treated with Corticosteroids, Azathioprine, Eltrombopag, and platelet transfusions for over three years. The patient had an initial response but later developed severe complications, including hydrothorax, gastric pain, hematuria, and digestive hemorrhage, and no further response to treatment. The patient then received Phytotherapy for 17 months which significantly improved the clinical symptoms, platelet counts, and laboratory tests. Despite his active lifestyle, the patient was symptom-free with platelet counts ranging from 109 to 132×10
