  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 61-year-old male was complaining of sore throat,dysphagia and dyspnea. Because of the edematous mucosa in the epiglottis and arytenoid,we suspected acute epiglotitis,but blood test showed severe neutropenia. We considerd drug-induced agranulocytosis due to ticlopidine which was reported as a common cause. Ticlopidine was discontinued immediately and broad-spectrum antibiotics and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF)were given. We should have a high index of suspicion of agranulocytosis when we encounter the patients who have severe pharyngeal or laryngeal inflammation during taking any kind of drugs,and leukocyte differential count should be checked.
