Severe bleeding caused by piperacillin/tazobactam-induced platelet dysfunction 
.

CONCLUSION: Platelet dysfunction is a little-known mechanism of TZP-induced bleeding. This is the second reported case of TZP-related bleeding that has been attributed to platelet dysfunction, and the first case report that has not been associated with surgery. While thrombocytopenia is easily recognized, this form of TZP-induced bleeding can be detected only by platelet functional tests.
