Rifampicin-induced thrombocytopenia Verma, Ajay Kumar.; Singh, Arpita; Chandra, Amol; Kumar, Santosh & Gupta, Rajesh Kumar. Abstract In the treatment of tuberculosis there are special therapeutic problems related to adverse effects of drugs, compliance to treatment, and microbial resistance. Thrombocytopenia is an uncommon but potentially fatal adverse effect of certain anti-tubercular drugs when the incriminating drug is taken by a susceptible individual. We report a case of rifampicin-induced thrombocytopenia, which although rare, needs attention. Keywords Rifampicin, thrombocytopenia, tuberculosis
