Abstract
Amphetamines and methamphetamines are two groups of substance whose use are increasing globally. Methamphetamines poisoning may develop different sympathetic symptoms; however, developing some complications, such as vasculitis, central nervous system involvement, and kidney injury. In this study, we report a case of methamphetamine poisoning that presented with loss of consciousness and developed Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP), Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC), and pulmonary pseud vasculitis
