Thrombocytopenia is a decrease in the platelet count. The half-life of a platelet in a normal person is about 4 days.[1]

Classification

The following classification is proposed by Robbins and Cotran.[2]

Decreased production of platelets

Decreased survival of platelets

Immunolologic destruction

Autoimmune includes immune thrombocytopenia purpura or Werlhof's Disease. The chronic form in adults is usually caused by antibodies to Platelet glycoprotein GPIIb-IIIa complex or Ib-IX.[2]

Isoimmune
Drug associated
Infections

Nonimmunolologic destruction

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
Giant hemangiomas

Microangiopathic hemolytic anemias (MAHAs) include thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP) and hemolytic uremia syndrome (HUS). TTP is usually an inherited or acquired deficiency of von Willebrand factor (vWF) metalloprotease, also called ADAMTS 13.

Cause/etiology

Medications

Systematic reviews have identified common causes of drug-induced thrombocytopenia.[3][4]

Drug-induced thrombocytopenia maybe immune mediated by antibodies against immune complexes of drugs bound to Platelet glycoprotein GPIIb-IIIa complex or Ib/V/IX complexes.[5] Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is usually caused by antibodies against immune complexes of platelet factor 4 (PF4) and heparin.[6] Other drugs include vancomycin [7] and oxaliplatin[8]

Infection

Septicemia has been associated with antibody mediated thrombocytopenia.[9]
