Vancomycin-induced immune thrombocytopenia.
BACKGROUND Vancomycin has only rarely been implicated as a cause of thrombocytopenia, and there is only limited evidence that this complication is caused by immune mechanisms. We conducted a study to determine whether thrombocytopenia is caused by vancomycin-dependent antibodies in patients being treated with vancomycin. METHODS We identified and characterized vancomycin-dependent, platelet-r...
متن کاملVancomycin-induced neutropenia associated with fever: similarities between two immune-mediated drug reactions.
A 39-year-old woman being treated for osteomyelitis with vancomycin developed severe neutropenia and drug fever. After she discontinued therapy, both disorders quickly resolved. These adverse reactions have rarely been reported with vancomycin, and share many similarities with regard to clinical features and postulated mechanisms of induction. To our knowledge this is the first case documenting...

متن کاملImmune-mediated neuropathies induced by immunosuppressive treatment.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an immunemediated neuropathy and the efficacy of immunosuppressive or immunomodulating treatments with corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin and plasma exchange has been established. 2 For patients refractory to these conventional therapies, other immunosuppressants such as cyclophosphamide, ciclosporin rituximab and tumour necro...
متن کاملHeparin induced thrombocytopaenia secondary to intraperitoneal heparin exposure.
Type II immune-mediated heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is reported to occur in 2% of individuals exposed to heparin for more than 4 days [1]. HIT has been well described in haemodialysis patients with a similar incidence to non-dialysis patients [2]. Patients treated with peritoneal dialysis are not routinely exposed to heparin during dialysis, and for this reason a switch from haemodia...
