Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is the condition of having a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) of no known cause (idiopathic). As most causes appear to be related to antibodies against platelets, it is also known as immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Although most cases are asymptomatic, very low platelet counts can lead to a bleeding diathesis and purpura.
Because of this Jonathan Davis was unable to perform at the 2006 Download Festival after being admitted to a London hospital with ITP. Doctors ordered Davis not to perform for several weeks. The band is hoping to provide new dates for the shows cancelled as a result of Davis' illness.

It's called Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). It's a bleeding disorder that has to do with a low platelet count.
