Use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in the treatment of methimazole-induced agranulocytosis: a case report

Clin Case Rep. 2017 Sep 8;5(10):1701-1705. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1124. eCollection 2017 Oct.

Abstract

A comparison of this case to previously published reports suggests that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor may be associated with improved prognosis in severe antithyroid drug-induced neutropenia, and that weight-based doses could be an appropriate strategy.

Keywords: Agranulocytosis; antithyroid; colony‐stimulating factor; methimazole; neutropenia.
