ABSTRACT
Terbinafine, a fungicidal agent used for the treatment of onychomycosis, has been found to be safe and adverse effects are usually mild and transient. Neutropenia is a rare side effect of terbinafine. Terbinafine-induced neutropenia have been reported 7 cases worldwide and these patients had no predisposing factors that give rise to developing neutropenia. To date there has not been reported in Korea. We report a case of systemic lupus erythematosus of 47-yearold female patient who developed deep neck infection requiring intravenous antibiotics, tracheostomy, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF) to recover from terbinafine-induced neutropenia.
