Abstract
In the current era of medical science, agranulocytosis is rarely found. Chemotherapeutic agents and various non-chemotherapeutic drugs commonly cause agranulocytosis. Agranulocytosis can occur any time during the therapy in hospital, and patients may remain symptomless. So, we should do regular cell count to reach the diagnosis in such cases. An appropriate antibiotic or drug-change, investigations to rule out sepsis and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) injection can be given as the management part. The patient should be monitored daily and observed till the normalization of neutrophil counts. Here, we report a case of ceftriaxone-mediated agranulocytosis, which was completely reversible after withdrawing the antibiotic.
