Abstract
Interferon β-1a (IFNβ1a) is considered safe in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Drug-induced thrombocytopenia (DITP) is a rare but underreported adverse event that is often confused with other causes of thrombocytopenia. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman who developed limb and oral mucosa petechiae and hematochezia, 10 years after beginning IFNβ1a. Blood work showed an isolated severe thrombocytopenia and ruled out other autoimmune diseases, viral infections, intravascular hemolysis, and renal impairment. Oral corticosteroids and tranexamic acid were initiated with a favorable platelet response. IFNβ1a was resumed, leading to recurrence of thrombocytopenia. Platelets came back to normal after intravenous immunoglobulins and IFNβ1a was definitively discontinued. To our knowledge, this is the first case of drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia (DITP) associated with IFNβ1a.
