Meropenem-induced immune thrombocytopenia and the diagnostic process of laboratory testing.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Erythrocytapheresis (ECP), automated red blood cell exchange, is increasingly being used for chronic transfusion therapy in sickle cell disease (SCD) as it is an isovolumetric transfusion, is more effective in lowering hemoglobin (Hb)S, and can limit iron overload. Because ECP requires increased blood exposu...
