Аннотация
Sulphasalazine-induced agranulocytosis is a rare but potentially life threatening complication. A variable mortality rate has been reported, from 6% to 20%, and is related to the duration of neutropenia. Previous case reports have shown that the use of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in treating drug-induced agranulocytosis may shorten the period of neutropenia and hence lead to improved survival. It may also be a less costly treatment option that supportive care alone due to reduction of hospital stay as a consequence of a shortened duration of neutropenia. We report a case in which sulphasalazine had been used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and the subsequent agranulocytosis was treated successfully with GM-CSF, something which has hitherto been unreported.
