| Popis: | Summary A case of immune thrombocytopenic purpura due to Fuadin has been reported. The reaction occurred on 2 occasions when the drug was given. Administration of plasma from this patient to a recipient who also received Fuadin produced thrombocytopenia without purpura. It is postulated that thrombocytopenic purpura in this patient was due to the occurrence of a drug-antibody complex capable of destroying or agglutinating platelets and depressing megakaryocyte activity. |
