pubmed-article:9504647 | pubmed:abstractText | We report a case of a patient with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia and anti-GPIIb/IIIa alloantibodies who developed life-threatening and intractable bleeding from gastrointestinal telangiectatic lesions. After a period of transfusion-dependent gastrointestinal bleeding despite tranexamic acid, oral iron, omeprazole and platelet transfusions, the use of oral norethisterone produced a significant improvement with a marked reduction in her transfusion requirements. | lld:pubmed |
