Popis: Valproic acid (VPA) is an antiepileptic drug that is widely used in various seizure disorders both in adults and in children. Hematological and coagulation abnormality is a well-known adverse effect associated with VPA. However, VPA-induced diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a rare entity. We are reporting one such case of VPA-associated diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
