RESUMEN
Presentamos el caso de una probable trombocitopenia inducida por cotrimoxazol en un hombre de 44 años con VIH. El paciente ingresa al hospital por infecciones asociadas a su patología de base, razón por la cual se le inicia antibioticoterapia con cotrimoxazol 160/800 mg cada 8 horas. A los 5 días, se observan laboratorios clínicos que evidencian trombocitopenia severa y se sospecha de toxicidad hemática inducida por cotrimoxazol. Se promueve el inicio de la terapia con folinato de calcio con recuperación hemodinámica a las 48 horas
We present the case of a probable cotrimoxazole-induced thrombocytopenia in a 44-year-old man with HIV. The patient is admitted to the hospital for opportunist infections associated with his base pathology. Thus, he is initiated with cotrimoxazole antibiotic therapy 160/800 mg every 8 hours. On the third day of treatment, it is observed in clinical laboratories thrombocytopenia and it is suspected blood toxicity induced by cotrimoxazole. The initiation of calcium folinate therapy is promoted, with hemodynamic recovery after 48 hours
