The causal relationship of thrombocytopenia with statin intake has been described in many research articles. Our case discusses the refractory nature of thrombocytopenia in a 22-year-old female, one month following a daily intake of 20 mg atorvastatin. This is the first case ever of drug-induced refractory thrombocytopenia reported in a young patient. We will also discuss previously reported cases of drug-induced thrombocytopenia (DIT) in our manuscript.
许多研究文章都描述了血小板减少症与服用他汀类药物之间的因果关系。我们的病例讨论了一名22岁女性在每日服用20毫克阿托伐他汀一个月后出现的难治性血小板减少症。这是首次报道的年轻患者药物性难治性血小板减少症病例。我们还将在稿件中讨论先前报道的药物性血小板减少症(DIT)病例。
