Quinine-induced thrombocytopenia (QITP)
a condition where quinine, a drug used to treat malaria and leg cramps, can cause a decrease in platelets (thrombocytopenia) due to the formation of antibodies that recognize platelet membrane glycoproteins
associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)
Quinine-dependent antibodies have been shown to react with red cells and granulocytes, potentially contributing to the development of HUS
management - stopping quinine and supportive care (platelet)
