  • Title: Azathioprine for treatment of immune-mediated thrombocytopenia in two horses.
    Author: Humber KA, Beech J, Cudd TA, Palmer JE, Gardner SY, Sommer MM.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1991 Sep 01; 199(5):591-4. PubMed ID: 1787117.
    Abstract:
    Azathioprine, a thiopurine antimetabolite used in the treatment of immune-mediated thrombocytopenia in human beings and dogs, was used in 2 cases of immune-mediated thrombocytopenia in horses that failed to respond to corticosteroid therapy alone. Platelet counts were increased to acceptable values in both horses. One horse returned to a successful racing career, and the other was euthanatized after developing renal disease and mild laminitis.
