Oxaliplatin-Induced Immune Thrombocytopenia in a Patient with Pancreatic Cancer.
Oxaliplatin-induced immune thrombocytopenia is a rare but potentially serious complication of chemotherapy. We present the case of a 55-year-old man with stage 4 pancreatic carcinoma who developed immune thrombocytopenia during the 18th cycle of folinic acid, fluorouracil, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) chemotherapy, immediately after oxaliplatin infusion. Despite treatment with methylprednisolone and platelet infusion, the patient's platelet count remained low. Subsequent plasmapheresis and continued steroid therapy resulted in a gradual improvement in platelet count and resolution of symptoms. This case highlights the importance of considering immune thrombocytopenia in patients receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, and the potential role of plasmapheresis in refractory cases. Further research is needed to elucidate the optimal management of this rare complication.
Learning points: Oxaliplatin-induced immune thrombocytopenia is a rare but potentially life-threatening side effect of chemotherapy.Management of drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia involves discontinuation of the offending drug and the use of steroids.Monitoring and follow-up are crucial in patients receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy to promptly detect and manage potential hematologic emergencies, including immune thrombocytopenia.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine is an official journal of the European Federation of Internal Medicine (EFIM), representing 35 national societies from 33 European countries. The Journal''s mission is to promote the best medical practice and innovation in the field of acute and general medicine. It also provides a forum for internal medicine doctors where they can share new approaches with the aim of improving diagnostic and clinical skills in this field. EJCRIM welcomes high-quality case reports describing unusual or complex cases that an internist may encounter in everyday practice. The cases should either demonstrate the appropriateness of a diagnostic/therapeutic approach, describe a new procedure or maneuver, or show unusual manifestations of a disease or unexpected reactions. The Journal only accepts and publishes those case reports whose learning points provide new insight and/or contribute to advancing medical knowledge both in terms of diagnostics and therapeutic approaches. Case reports of medical errors, therefore, are also welcome as long as they provide innovative measures on how to prevent them in the current practice (Instructive Errors). The Journal may also consider brief and reasoned reports on issues relevant to the practice of Internal Medicine, as well as Abstracts submitted to the scientific meetings of acknowledged medical societies.
