A drug-specific leuco-agglutinin in a fatal case of agranulocytosis due to chlorpromazine.

چکیده
A fatal case of agranulocytosis due to chlorpromazine is reported. Mechanisms other than immunological are generally believed to be responsible for chlorpromazine-induced agranulocytosis. However, the demonstration of a drug-specific leuco-agglutinin in the serum of this patient suggests that an immunological mechanism was responsible for the agranulocytosis.

Chlorpromazine-induced agranulocytosis is an uncommon disorder associated with a high frequency of fatality. We describe two patients with chlorpromazine-induced granulocytosis in whom granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration enhanced the speed of neutrophil recovery. No toxicity was noted with G-CSF and both patients made a successful recovery. We propose there is a role fo...
