Ceftriaxone-Induced Thrombocytopenia in a Patient with Bacterial Meningoencephalitis. Journal of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics . 2021 Dec; 12(4): 175–1760976-500X0976-5018http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/216031Drug-induced thrombocytopenia is a rare and life-threatening condition. It is mainly caused by the initiation of drug-dependent platelet reactive antibodies that leads to the accelerated platelet destruction. Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin, which has rarely reported cases of drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia. Here, we report a case of ceftriaxone-induced thrombocytopenia after the initiation of antibiotic therapy for bacterial meningoencephalitis based on the laboratory findings with the initiation and discontinuation of ceftriaxone.Ceftriaxonedrug-induced immune thrombocytopeniameningoencephalitisthrombocytopeniaJournal ArticleIndiaDepartments of Pharmacy Practice and Internal Medicine, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Kochi, Kerala, India
