Abstract

Thrombocytopenia is caused by immune reactions elicited by diverse drugs in clinical practice. The activity of the drug-dependent antibodies produces a marked decrease in blood platelets and a risk of serious bleeding. Understanding of the cellular mechanisms that drive drug-induced thrombocytopenia has advanced recently but there is still a need for improved laboratory tests and treatment options. This article provides an overview of the different types of drug-induced thrombocytopenia, discusses potential pathologic mechanisms, and considers diagnostic methods and treatment options.
