Impaired clot retraction in thrombocytopenia due to methyldopa.

Abstract:

:We have described a case of thrombocytopenic purpura caused by methyldopa. A methyldopa-dependent antiplatelet antibody as the mechanism of the patient's thrombopenia was suggested by a positive clot retraction inhibition test. This simple in vitro test should be done more often in suspected cases of drug-induced thrombocytopenia.
