propos d'un cas d'agranulocytose au paracetamol

ABSTRACT

It is not known to the general public that Paracetamol can be toxic in the blood. The authors reported one case of agranulocytosis with hepato-toxicity which was noted in a young woman who had taken Paracetamol. The development is favourable. They noted the rarity of this problem, the mechanism by which it appears to be fundamentally immuno-allergic, the characteristic medullar aspect and the diagnostic pitfalls. The laboratory tests done to incriminate the drug are not adequate, but the agranulocytic culture method remains the safest means
