Results: Of 387 patients, 231 patients (59.6%), at least one time, afflicted by thrombocytopenia. There wasn’t any significant difference between age and gender by thrombocytopenia incidence (P>0.05). Totally, 76 patients (19.6%) had positive blood culture that 58 cases (76.3%) occurred in thrombocytopenic patients.
