Clopidogrel induced arthritis and fever

A 67-year-old woman with a history of diabetes mellitus and smoking was admitted to our hospital with chest pain for one month. Her resting electrocardiogram and serial troponin I measurements were normal. As the coronary artery angiography performed in another hospital showed severe lesions in the left anterior descending artery, we planned to perform the intervention on the left anterior descending artery by stent. Before the procedure, clopidogrel （300 mg loading dose） was initiated.
