title: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: cross-reactivity between standard heparin, low molecular weight heparin, dalteparin (Fragmin) and heparinoid, danaparoid (Orgaran).
abstract: The incidence of cross-reactivity between unfractionated heparin and LMWH, fragmin, in patients with HIT is significantly lower (6/15, 40%) than hitherto reported in the literature. 7/9 patients with a negative cross-reactivity test were treated with dalteparin sodium (Fragmin) without any untoward events.
