Many drugs can induce thrombocytopenia mediated by drug-dependent antiplatelet antibodies. Recent studies have documented specific epitopes for drug-dependent antibody binding on glycoprotein Ib-IX, glycoprotein IIb-IIIa, and platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1. Molecular identification of antibody binding sites may help to identify susceptible individuals. Management of patients with unexpected thrombocytopenia who are taking multiple drugs remains a difficult clinical problem. A recent systematic review of all published case reports of drug-induced thrombocytopenia ranks drugs according to the strength of clinical evidence for a causal relation to thrombocytopenia.
