    Author: Adachi JD, Bensen WG, Kassam Y, Powers PJ, Bianchi FA, Cividino A, Kean WF, Rooney PJ, Craig GL, Buchanan WW.
    Journal: Semin Arthritis Rheum; 1987 May; 16(4):287-93. PubMed ID: 3110956.
    Abstract:
    Gold induced thrombocytopenia is immune mediated, with the production of platelet associated IgG leading to peripheral platelet destruction. An association with HLA-DR3 has been demonstrated. Corticosteroid therapy is effective in treatment, although other modes of therapy may be as efficacious.
