Abstract
Clopidogrel is a recently developed thrombocyte inhibitor with fewer side e ffects. We report 2 patients with purpura and thrombopenia, respectively, d ue to clopidogrel therapy. As this compound is widely used in clinical prac tice, the occurrence of hematological and dermal side effects should be con sidered. Copyright(C) 2001 S. Karger AG, Basel.
