Abstract
Two patients had severe thrombocytopenia while taking trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The mechanism is uncertain, but probably is related to drug interference with folate metabolism. Recovery can usually be expected upon withdrawal of the medication and institution of folic acid therapy.Keywords
