A 5-year-old girl presented with a left axillary lymph node mass associated with generalised petechiae and mucosal bleeding and was diagnosed as tubercular lymphadenitis associated with immune thrombocytopenia. She responded well to anti-tubercular therapy. Tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathy and thrombocytopenia.
