What hematological side effects, such as anemia or thrombocytopenia, might occur with penicillin use and how can these be detected, managed and mitigated during treatment?
Penicillin can rarely cause hemolytic anemia or thrombocytopenia. Detection involves blood tests. Management includes stopping the drug and supportive care like transfusions. Prevent by monitoring blood counts.
