Abstract

Clopidogrel is a recently developed thrombocyte inhibitor with fewer side effects. We report 2 patients with purpura and thrombopenia, respectively, due to clopidogrel therapy. As this compound is widely used in clinical practice, the occurrence of hematological and dermal side effects should be considered.
