TLDR
The most important aspects of patient management are a high index of suspicion and a careful history of drug exposure in an individual who presents with acute, often severe thrombocytopenia of unknown etiology.

How do we approach thrombocytopenia in critically ill patients

TL;DR: A practical approach based on the authors' experience is described to guide management of a critically ill patient who develops thrombocytopenia and the risk‐benefit of prophylactic platelet transfusions in this setting is uncertain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thrombocytopenia: an update

TL;DR: This review article aims to summarize and address appropriate work‐up of the major and/or life‐threatening causes of thrombocytopenia and some of the better‐characterized congenital thromBocy topenias.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug-induced immune thrombocytopaenia: results from the Berlin Case-Control Surveillance Study.

TL;DR: This study confirms known ITP risks for glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists and sulphonamides and generates signals for several other drugs and vaccines and indicates new onset of ITP should not only direct attention to drugs as possible aetiological agents, but also to vaccines that are known to cause autoimmune phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug-induced thrombocytopenia in critically ill patients.

TL;DR: This review focuses on immune-mediated drug-induced thrombocytopenia from medications commonly utilized in the critically ill patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perioperative thrombocytopenia: evidence, evaluation, and emerging therapies

TL;DR: A pragmatic approach to the evaluation of perioperative thrombocytopenia is presented and the benefits and risks of preoperative platelet transfusions should be assessed on a patient‐by‐patient basis, and alternatives to Platelet transfusion should be considered.

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

TL;DR: The aim of this article is to review the most recent advances in the field and to give critical guidelines for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of HIT II, the most frequent and dangerous side-effect of heparin therapy.

Sera from patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia generate platelet-derived microparticles with procoagulant activity : an explanation for the thrombotic complications of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

TL;DR: Observations indicate that the generation of procoagulant platelet-derived microparticles in vivo is a plausible explanation for the thrombotic complications observed in some patients with heparin-inducedThrombocytopenia.

Drug-Induced Immune Thrombocytopenia

TL;DR: The current understanding of pathogenesis is summarized and a guide for diagnosis and management of thrombocytopenia is provided.

Drug-Induced Thrombocytopenia: A Systematic Review of Published Case Reports

TL;DR: This systematic review analyzed all published reports of drug-induced thrombocytopenia by using explicit, a priori criteria for establishing levels of evidence of a causal relation to help clinicians better understand the likelihood that a drug will cause throm bocy topenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monoclonal antibodies to ligand-occupied conformers of integrin alpha IIb beta 3 (glycoprotein IIb-IIIa) alter receptor affinity, specificity, and function.

TL;DR: Fab fragments of certain antibodies against LIBS on integrin alpha IIb beta 3 (platelet glycoprotein IIb-IIIa) block platelet aggregation, and changes in the conformation of this integrin modulate both the specificity and affinity of ligand recognition.
