DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2018-227089
Abstract: Neuroleptic malignant-like syndrome is a rare but potentially fatal complication of sudden withdrawal of dopaminergic drugs. Clinical features are similar to that of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) like hyperthermia, autonomic dysfunction, altered sensorium, muscle rigidity;… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2019-229423
Abstract: Epistaxis may be attributed to many causes during the winter including dry mucous membranes from low indoor humidity from heating. However, epistaxis may also be due to thrombocytopaenia. Immune thrombocytopaenia purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2021-243749
Abstract: Thrombocytopaenia is a commonly encountered finding in hospitalised patients. Many antibiotics, especially beta-lactams, are well known to cause thrombocytopaenia by an immune-mediated mechanism. We present a 55-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40249-018-0392-9
Abstract: BackgroundPlasmodium vivax is the most geographically widespread species among human malaria parasites. Immunopathological studies have shown that platelets are an important component of the host innate immune response against malaria infections. The objectives of this… read more here.
