A case of severe thrombocytopenia (27 x 10(3)/mm3) of early onset during unfractionated heparin (Héparine sodique Rovi) treatment is reported in a 75 year-old man suffering from a deep vein thrombosis of the right calf. It was not associated with thromboembolic or haemorrhagic complications. A serum heparin-dependent aggregating factor was not detected. Substitution of low molecular weight heparin (Choay Laboratory, CY 222, PM 4 500, 25 000 U anti-Xa/ml) for unfractionated heparin resulted in a progressive normalisation of the platelet count and improvement of the venous thrombosis.

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.
