Rifampicin-induced thrombocytopenia

Abstract

Rifampicin occasionally causes thrombocytopenia when given as part of an intermittent regimen. A case is reported of severe thrombocytopenia developing after one dose of rifampicin, following a 4-month gap in daily therapy. The literature on rifampicin-induced thrombocytopenia is reviewed.
