Pentazocine-induced agranulocytosis
Canadian Medical Association Journal
|May 1, 1984
Abstract:
A 46-year-old man with pentazocine-induced agranulocytosis is described. In previously reported cases of a complete absence of mature neutrophils in the peripheral blood and bone marrow the patients had undergone marrow-depressing treatment with radiation and antineoplastic drugs. This case is unique in that the patient had complete agranulocytosis without predisposing factors.
