Thompson GR, Lawrence VA, Crawford GE. HIV infection increases the risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. 2007 Nov 15; 45(10):1393-6.
The incidence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected inpatients was compared with that in a control group that was not known to be infected with HIV in a retrospective cohort study. HIV-infected patients receiving heparin therapy, especially unfractionated heparin therapy, were at increased risk of developing heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, compared with HIV-uninfected patients.
