We describe the case of a 58-year-old man who developed acute severe anemia and thrombocytopenia after the administration of tirofiban following coronary artery angioplasty. The intravenous administration of IgG immunoglobulin completely resolved both the anemia and the thrombocytopenia. Although thrombocytopenia has been reported as a sequela to the use of tirofiban, there has been no prior report of a link between tirofiban use and anemia. Our successful resolution of both the anemia and the thrombocytopenia with immunoglobulin supports the theory that these severe sequelae of tirofiban are of autoimmune origin.
我们描述了一名58岁男性的病例,该患者在冠状动脉血管成形术后使用替罗非班后出现急性严重贫血和血小板减少。静脉注射免疫球蛋白G完全缓解了贫血和血小板减少。虽然血小板减少已被报道为使用替罗非班的后遗症,但此前尚无关于替罗非班使用与贫血之间关联的报道。我们使用免疫球蛋白成功缓解了贫血和血小板减少,这支持了替罗非班这些严重后遗症是自身免疫性起源的理论。
