Ticarcillin-induced hemorrhage in a patient with thrombocytosis.
A patient with thrombocytosis, normal renal function, and severe ticarcillin-induced hemorrhage is described. Like carbenicillin, ticarcillin can cause severe bleeding in some individuals by creating a qualitative platelet defect. The template bleeding time is the most useful diagnostic test.
