Abstract
Diclofenac infusion is prescribed for acute painful and inflammatory conditions in
intensive care. Thrombocytopenia is a very rare adverse effect of diclofenac infusion.
We report a case of thrombocytopenia due to diclofenac infusion, occurring in a
32-year-old male treated conservatively for acute appendicitis. The thrombocytopenia
recovered completely with the discontinuation of the drug. The rarity, clinical
importance, and the diagnostic difficulty associated with this case prompted us to
report it here.
