Deferiprone‐induced agranulocytosis: 20 years of clinical observations
Use of the iron chelator deferiprone for treatment of iron overload in thalassemia patients is associated with concerns over agranulocytosis, which requires weekly absolute neutrophil counts (ANC). Here, we analyze all episodes of agranulocytosis (n = 161) and neutropenia (n = 250) during deferiprone use in clinical trials (CT) and postmarketing surveillance programs (PMSP). Rates of agranulocy...
متن کاملAgranulocytosis Induced by Vancomycin in an ESRD Patient on CAPD
Agranulocytosis is a rare adverse effect associated with prolonged vancomycin therapy, and is potentially serious, especially in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. We describe a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patient that developed vancomycin-induced agranulocytosis during treatment for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-associated external cuff infection...
متن کاملAgranulocytosis associated with sulphasalazine therapy.
A case report of a patient with agranulocytosis associated with sulphasalazine therapy is described. Recovery followed supportive therapy and withdrawal of the drug. Investigations including tests for leucocyte antibodies, the presence of which might have suggested an immunological cause for the drug reaction, were negative; an acetylation study, however, characterized the patient as a 'slow' a...

Patient presented with non-descript constitutional symptoms suggestive of a viral etiology associated to new onset agranulocytosis with neutrophilic maturation arrest on bone marrow biopsy.

متن کاملAnaesthesia and congenital agranulocytosis: influence of anaesthetic agent on neutrophil numbers in a patient with Kostmann's syndrome.
We describe a 14-month-old male patient with congenital agranulocytosis who received general anaesthesia on three separate occasions during a 6-week period for minor surgery. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor was commenced after the second anaesthetic. Each anaesthetic was followed by profound reductions in neutrophil numbers, irrespective of the agent used. Even the third anaesthetic, whic...
