Abstract

Ticlopidine is a powerful antiplatelet activator that inhibits adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation. Its most common side-effects are skin rashes, diarrhea and neutropenia. Aplastic anemia is rare. This paper reports a patient with severe aplastic anemia that developed after the use of ticlopidine. The 85-year-old woman developed fever, chills and chest pain 5 weeks after starting ticlopidine 250 mg twice daily. Severe aplastic anemia was proved by blood examination, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. In spite of the recovery of absolute neutrophil count to more than 1,000/mm3, 16 days after ticlopidine was stopped and administration of strong antibiotics, the patient died from candidal sepsis.
