Carbamazepine기인성으로 추정되는 혈소판감소증 치험 1례

A Case of Carbamazepine-induced thrombocytopenia

As the use of anticonvulsant increases in neurologic field, more studies are needed to reveal various harmful effects of this medication. Especially as for carbamazepine, thrombocytopenia may appear during administration of the medication, regardless of dosage. We, the authors, report that we diagnosed the patient as Bigiheo and Eumheohyeolheo, who was suffering from insomnia, diarrhea, papura, and serious thrombocytopenia. We presumed that the symptoms could be induced by carbamazepine, and used Samulgwibitanggamibang to treat her and obtained positive results.
