Immune thrombocytopenia; following seasonal flu vaccine and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use.
Professional Med J Jan ;23(05):630-3.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an idiopathic disorder which could be triggered by various factors including; drugs, rheumatic diseases and malignancies. We aimed to present a 66 year old woman diagnosed with ITP whose history was relevant for influenza vaccine and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (diclofenac) use. She responded well to standard ITP therapy. In conclusion, medications should be elaborately questioned in patients with thrombocytopenia, especially, when a diagnosis of ITP was considered.
