[Case Report - Metamizole-Induced Agranulocytosis]
Abstract:
Metamizole is primarily used for severe perioperative pain, acute injury and colic, and cancer pain. For other acute/chronic forms of pain and high fever, it should only be used if unresponsive to other agents. Metamizole should not be used for middle and low pain. Oral application should be preferred. A contraindication for metamizole is leukopenia. Clinical signs for agranulocytosis are fever, tonsillitis and aphthous stomatitis.
Insights
Metamizole is effective for severe pain and high fever unresponsive to other treatments. Avoid using it for mild pain, and never if leukopenia is present, watching for agranulocytosis signs.
