Gold induced thrombocytopenia: 12 cases and a review of the literature Journal Articles

abstract

• Gold induced thrombocytopenia is immune mediated, with the production of platelet associated IgG leading to peripheral platelet destruction. An association with HLA-DR3 has been demonstrated. Corticosteroid therapy is effective in treatment, although other modes of therapy may be as efficacious.
