Heparin-induzierte Thrombozytopenie Typ II: Re-Exposition mit Heparin

Abstract

Single re-administration of heparin in a patient who had developed a type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia several years before does not necessarily lead to a booster of antibodies and thus to a reduction of platelets in the peripheral blood. It is a moot point whether the course in this case was an exception or the rule.
