Which finding is commonly observed in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)?
Explanation
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is characterized by a low platelet count leading to prolonged bleeding time. Platelet count is decreased, so thrombocytosis is not seen. Prothrombin time and clotting time usually remain normal, but bleeding time is increased due to impaired platelet function.
