ABSTRACT
Agranulocytosis is a rare, but sometimes dangerous, adverse reaction to allopurinol. We report the unusual case of a 43-year-old man with agranulocytosis, who received allopurinol while undergoing peritoneal dialysis. The bone marrow biopsy indicated that the agranulocytosis was drug-induced. After ceasing all drugs, isolating the patient, and administering granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), the leukocyte count returned to normal. A relationship between allopurinol therapy and agranulocytosis was presumed.
