ABSTRACT
Levetiracetam has not been reported to cause purpura. We report a case of purpura associated with levetiracetam. A 81-year-old man suffered from post-stroke seizure. Seizure was well controlled with valproate. Valproate was discontinued due to pancytopenia and levetiracetam was prescribed when he was admitted with pneumonia. A few days later, he recovered from pancytopenia and pneumonia. However, he was rehospitalized due to multiple variable sized-purpura on the whole body surface without thrombocytopenia. After discontinuing levetiracetam, purpura disappeared.
