description The causal relationship of thrombocytopenia with statin intake has been described in many research articles. Our case discusses the refractory nature of thrombocytopenia in a 22-year-old female, one month following a daily intake of 20 mg atorvastatin.

We will also discuss previously reported cases of drug-induced thrombocytopenia (DIT) in our manuscript.
