Abstract | Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia syndrome (HITS) is a rare complication of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). It is an autoimmune-mediated side effect of LMWH which is caused by platelet-activating antibodies that recognize platelet factor-4/ heparin complexes. Although HITS often leads to thrombosis in large veins and arteries, it can be presented as microvascular thrombosis. In this article, we report a case of HITS complicated with multiple digital necrosis after administration of LMWH. |
