Abstract :Tumor necrosis factor-alpha insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TNF-α);, which is produced by macrophages and activated T lymphocyte cells, plays a main role in inducing further stimulation of other inflammatory cells. Anti-TNF-α drugs are used for induction and preservation of remission in patients with Ankylosing spondylitis. Etanercept, which is one of the most used Anti-TNF-α drugs, has side effects such as cytopenia but isolated thrombocytopenia is an uncommon adverse event. We report the case of a 40-year-old man diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis who developed Etanercept-induced isolated thrombocytopenia.Keywords : Thrombocytopenia, Ankylosing Spondylitis, adverse effect, biological agents
