title: Cerebral hemorrhage and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura during ticlopidine treatment: case report.
abstract: We report the second case of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura occurring during ticlopidine therapy. A cerebral hemorrhage was the first sign of the thrombocytopenia. Even if thrombocytopenia is a rare occurrence with ticlopidine therapy, we stress that platelets must be repeatedly monitored.
