摘要

我们报告一例29岁浸润性导管癌pT2N0M0女性患者

ER和PR均弱阳性

Her-2（3+）

患者在我中心接受化疗和曲妥珠单抗治疗。于第二周期注射曲妥珠单抗6小时后出现异常子宫出血

血小板计数急剧降至3×10

临床确诊为曲妥珠单抗所致严重血小板减少症。给予输注血小板、糖皮质激素、缩宫素及升血小板药物治疗

11天后患者的血小板完全恢复正常。由于严重血小板减少症由曲妥珠单抗所致

患者终止并未再继续尝试曲妥珠单抗治疗。随着曲妥珠单抗在临床逐渐广泛应用

临床医生可能会越来越多地遇到由曲妥珠单抗引起的致命性严重血小板减少症。我们希望通过此病例报告和文献回顾

引起临床医生对此种情况的警惕和重视

助益提升治疗效果。

Abstract

We present a 29-year-old woman with pT2N0M0 breast cancer

histological diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma

ER and PR low positive

and HER-2 (3+). The patient developed trastuzumab-induced thrombocytopenia in 6 hours after an intravenous infusion of trastuzumab at the second cycle of trastuzumab treatment with the symptom of abnormal uterine bleeding. Laboratory exam revealed a sharp drop of platelet count down to 3×10

/L. With the treatment of single-donor platelet transfusions

glucocorticoids

oxytocin and thrombopoietic drugs

the platelet count recovered completely in 11 days. This case was confirmed to be severe thrombocytopenia induced by trastuzumab

and retreatment with trastuzumab was not attempted. With increasing clinical utilization of trastuzumab

clinicians are likely to encounter more life-threatening trastuzumab induced severe thrombocytopenia. By this case report and literature review

we hope to increase the awareness

attach the attentions to this condition

and help with the effective treatment.
