Thrombocytopenia is a very common hematological disorder that can be seen in many diseases such as splenomegaly diseases, infectious diseases, microangiopathic hemolytic anemias (TTP, HUS) that may occur due to drugs and malignant diseases infiltrating the bone marrow. Thrombocytopenia causes bleeding diathesis and causes petechial and purpuric rashes on the skin and mucous membranes. The petechial eruptions seen in thrombocytopenia are generally widespread throughout the body and are not limited to a single area. In this case report, we wanted to present a 78-year-old patient with thrombocytopenia, who had a diffuse and intense petechial rash on the anterior chest wall secondary to thrombocytopenia, but did not have petechiae in other parts of the body.
Iodine deficiency is an important public health problem both in our country and around the world. Iodine deficiency and the health problems it causes, to the large-scale struggle involving health and aid organizations such as the World Health Organization, United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), to accept 21 October as the Global Day for the Prevention of Iodine Deficiency Disorders to raise awareness, to carry out activities in this regard. however, it is still common.

Fighting iodine deficiency has become the policy of states. In this regard, it has been decided to iodize table salt worldwide and in our country, and table salt has been iodized. In our country, the necessary legal regulations for the mandatory iodization of all table salt were completed in July 1999 and the use of iodized salt has been expanded since the 2000s. At the end of these struggles, iodine deficiency is slightly reduced compared to the old data, but its frequency is still high. In this review, iodine, the causes of iodine deficiency, its incidence, how it is evaluated, the health problems it causes, its treatment and struggle are mentioned.
