Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug widely used in current medical practice. After a thorough search of the literature I found no well-documented case of severe thrombocytopenia following its therapeutic use. Described below is a case of life-threatening thrombocytopenia induced by ibuprofen.
