Drug-associated thrombocytopenia is often unrecognized.
We report a 76-year-old female with lymphoma who presented with easy bruising and oral bleeding.
She had undergone screening for hepatitis B virus (HBV) prior to starting rituximab and was found to have hepatitis B core serum antibody (IgG anti-HBc).
She was therefore treated with prophylactic entecavir 0.5 mg daily to prevent reactivation of HBV.
Her initial platelet count was 136,000/mm3.
Five days after starting entecavir, she presented with bruising and oral bleeding and was found to have a platelet count of 7,000/mm3.
A coagulation profile and the rest of the blood parameters (RBC and WBC counts) were normal.
Entecavir was stopped, and she was given 3 units of apheresed platelets followed by intravenous immunoglobulin (1 g/kg) for 5 consecutive days.
Her platelet counts improved and normalized in one week.
She was diagnosed with entecavir-induced thrombocytopenia based on the temporal relationship and after carefully excluding alternate causes of thrombocytopenia.
This case highlights the importance of recognizing drug-induced thrombocytopenia (DITP) as a reversible cause of thrombocytopenia.
