Abstract
A 72-year-old patient, known in her personal medical history with essential hypertension, chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism, undergoing chronic treatment with Euthyrox, shows specific symptoms of hyperthyroidism (palpitations, profuse sweating). After the tests, it appears that the patient has a thyrotoxicosis related to Graves’ disease. Treatment with Thyrozol is initiated. 10 days after the initiation of Thyrozol treatment, a severe neutropenia is noted (0 neutrophils on the peripheral blood smear). It is decided to cease the treatment with Thyrozol and start the treatment with Filgastrim, granulocyte colony stimulating factor and Dexamethasone.
