Abstract
A 57-year-old man presented on multiple occasions to various hospitals with thrombocytopenia and complaints of easy bleeding. Despite his repeated denials of quinine use, laboratory investigations confirmed a diagnosis of quinine-induced thrombocytopenia. He appeared to have factitious disorder and to have discovered a novel means of precipitating symptoms.
