Title: Acute severe thrombocytopenia following non-ionic low-osmolarity intravenous contrast medium injection. Cord-id: dodb4erz Document date: 2012_1_1
ID: dodb4erz
Snippet: Intravenous contrast medium (ICM) rarely induces anaphylactic reactions, including urticaria, hypotension and respiratory failure. Even the most modern ICM may cause such adverse events. Thrombocytopenia has been reported as an extreme rare consequence of ICM. Here we report on a case of a 72-year-old male patient with a self-limiting severe acute thrombocytopenia following administration of intravenous non-ionic low-osmolarity contrast medium. No such low platelet count has ever been reported.
