Profound thrombocytopenia after primary exposure to eptifibatide
Eptifibatide is a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist used to reduce the incidence of ischemic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes and those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. A minority of patients given eptifibatide develop acute, profound thrombocytopenia (<20,000 cells/mm(3)) within a few hours of receiving the drug. This case report discusses a patient who de...
متن کاملImmune Thrombocytopenia Associated with Hepatitis A Infection in Children
Hepatitis A infection is usually a self–limited disease during childhood. Autoimmune manifestations are rarely reported among patients with HA infection. We describe a previously healthy 6-yr-old male with acute hepatitis A who developed immune thrombocytopenia.
متن کاملAcute thrombocytopenia after treatment with tirofiban or eptifibatide is associated with antibodies specific for ligand-occupied GPIIb/IIIa.
Acute thrombocytopenia is a recognized complication of treatment with GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors whose cause is not yet known. We studied 9 patients who developed severe thrombocytopenia (platelets less than 25 x 10(9)/L) within several hours of treatment with the GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors tirofiban (4 patients) and eptifibatide (5 patients). In each patient, acute-phase serum contained a high titer (ra...
متن کاملMetronidazole caused profound drug‐induced immune thrombocytopenia
Metronidazole is commonly prescribed and has not been known to cause drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia. We have provided clinical and laboratory evidence with DDabs that metronidazole can cause drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia (DITP). Providers must be aware of metronidazole causing DITP because recognition of thrombocytopenia is critical and cessation of the drug should occur promptly.
