A case of Hydroxyurea-induced fever / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

A patient with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is reported who developed a drug fever that may be related to the administration of hydroxyurea. Typically, this form of fever develops after a few weeks of exposure to the drug and disappears with withdrawal of the drug and recurs on reexposure to the drug. The mechanism of hydroxyurea-induced fever remains unclear.
