Popis: A case of diclofenac-induced thrombocytopenic purpura in a 59-year-old woman is described. Unlike the majority of earlier cases, ours was associated with renal insufficiency and jaundice. Despite the dramatic clinical picture, with severe thrombocytopenia and marked renal insufficiency, the prognosis appears to be excellent, as is shown in our case and in similar ones reported in the literature. A high dose of steroids is the treatment of choice.
