[Acute thrombocytopenic purpura associated with fenoprofene (author's transl)].
A 73-year-old woman, taking daily 3 to 4 tablets (900 to 1200 mg) of fenoprofene for 2 weeks, had a purpura related to an acute peripheric thrombocytopenia (platelet count of 24 000/mm3) with fast regression when we have stopped therapy. It is the second case of literature. This drug is also capable of causing acute agranulocytosis.
