Thrombocytopenia
Case/etiology
Medications
A systematic review has identified common causes of drug-induced thrombocytopenia.[1]
Drug-induced thrombocytopenia maybe immune medicated.[2] Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is caused by anti-platelet antibodies.[3] Other drugs include vancomycin [4] and oxaliplatin[5]
