| Abstract |
|
Ciprofloxacin is generally considered to be a safe drug with infrequent hematological side effects such as thrombocytopenia. Here, we report a case of severe immune thrombocytopenia associated with the use of ciprofloxacin. A 64-year-old man developed generalized purpura and severe epistaxis associated with severe thrombocytpenia that occurred after the use of ciprofloxacin. Thrombocytopenia persisted in spite of repeated platelet transfusion. After discontinuation of ciprofloxacin and the use of corticosteroid and immunoglobulin, his platelet count rapidly recovered to normal value and his bleeding symptoms disappeared.(Korean J Med 69:S943-S947, 2005) |
