Introduction: Thrombocytopenia refers to the count of platelets lower than 150 × 109/L. The incidence is estimated at 3 – 4 per 10 000 inhabitants yearly, with mildly increased incidence in women and peaking in children and patients over 60 years old. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most frequent immune mediated thrombocytopenia in children, with yearly incidence of symptomatic cases estimated between 3 – 8 cases per 100 000 children. Materials and methods: The research is established as a retrospective study on all children hospitalised at the Department of Hematology and Oncology, 110 children in total, Peadiatric Clinic, Clinical Hospital Centre Osijek from 2017 to 2021 for the purposes of medical treatment of thrombocytopenia. Results: Within the period from 2017 to 2021 a total of 110 children was hospitalised due to thrombocytopenia, and their proportion in the total number of hospitalised children at the Pediatric Clinic ranged from 1.26 % in 2017 to 0.75 % in 2021.
