Abstract

The article "Acute Thrombocytopenia Likely Induced by Apomorphine: A Case Report" discusses a case of a 79-year-old patient with Parkinson's disease who developed thrombocytopenia likely induced by apomorphine treatment. The patient experienced severe thrombocytopenia, which improved after discontinuation of apomorphine and administration of corticosteroids. The article highlights the rarity of thrombocytopenia induced by apomorphine and discusses the pathophysiology and management of drug-induced thrombocytopenia. The patient's recovery was successful, with platelet count returning to normal levels after treatment. [Extracted from the article]
