title: Psychodrug-induced and EDTA associated thrombocytopenia: important factors in the differential diagnosis of low platelet counts.
abstract: We report the case of a 68-year-old depressive patient who developed severe thrombocytopenia during hospitalization. EDTA-associated thrombocytopenia and psychodrug-induced thrombocytopenia are illustrated as potential causes of low platelet counts, particularly in regard to psychiatric patients.
