Abstract
We describe a case of thrombocytopenia and deep venous thrombosis in a boy who received heparin to maintain patency of a central venous catheter. Measurement of the release of serotonin labeled with carbon 14 confirmed the presence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Children receiving heparin therapy should be monitored for the possibility of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.Entities:
