ABSTRACT
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a severe adverse effect of heparin therapy. Although most cases occur in patients receiving unfractionated heparin, HIT can arise in venous thrombosis prophylaxis with a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). We report an uncommon case of HIT in a postoperative orthopedic patient associated with LMWH (nadroparin), complicated by deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and disseminated intravascular coagulation, treated successfully with recombinant hirudin and immunoglobulin therapy.
