Cefazolin-induced thrombocytopenia in a patient with postherpetic neuralgia - a case report

  • 25

Drug-induced thrombocytopenia is a common clinical condition in hospitalized patients and can be led to fatal bleeding complications. Numerous medications are known to cause throm-bocytopenia. Diagnosis of thrombocytopenia is often delayed by another potential diagnosis like infection, heparin exposure, and immunologic disorders. Drug-induced thrombocytopenia can be developed due to two reasons, mainly: immune-mediated (increased destruction of platelets) or bone marrow suppression (reduced formation of platelets). Cefazolin, a first-generation ceph-alosporin, is a commonly used antibiotic for the prophylaxis of surgical or procedural site infection and has known to cause thrombocytopenia. We present a case of an 83-year-old woman with postherpetic neuralgia who experienced acute thrombocytopenia after the administration of ce-fazolin.
