Bordetella pertussis vaccine, a hypoglycemic agent, significantly prolonged the bleeding time and whole blood coagulation time in rabbits and dogs when administered intraperitoneally. The vaccine also affects platelet aggregation in rats 4 days after its intraperitoneal administration. The effect on platelet aggregation is thought to be due to its beta-adrenergic receptor blocking action which may also contribute to the hypoglycemia.
