Leucopenia grave em paciente com artrite reumatoide tratada com combinação de metotrexato e leflunomida / Severe leukopenia in a rheumatoid arthritis patient treated with a methotrexate/leflunomide combination

Apresentamos o caso de uma paciente com artrite reumatoide tratada por dois anos com associação de metotrexato e leflunomida. A paciente foi internada com leucopenia grave quatro semanas após acrescentar ao esquema medicamentoso as drogas clopidogrel, isosorbida, sinvastatina, AAS e omeprazol.

A rheumatoid arthritis patient was treated for two years with methotrexate and leflunomide combination therapy. The evolution was uneventful until she had clopidogrel, simvastatin, isosorbide, aspirin and omeprazole added to medication due to acute myocardial infarction. Four weeks after this, she was hospitalized with severe leukopenia.
