초록
Antithyroid drugs (ATD) has been widely used to treat Graves’ disease. However agranulocytosis, a serious fatal complication of ATD treatment, occurs in about 0.5 percent. The symptoms may mimic viral infections (fever,sore throat), and the potentially life-threatening pyogenic infections can go unrecognized initially. The median duration of drug exposure before the onset of acute agranulocytosis is within 30 days in most cases. We report a case of agranulocytosis with secondary soft tissue infection and abscess occuring after increasing the dose of methimazole in a woman who had taken methimazole for more than 10 years. We administered broad-spectrum antibiotics and aspirated the soft tissue abscess. A review of the medical literature regarding agranulocytosis in the setting of ATDs is presented.
Abstract

The median duration of drug exposure before the onset of acute agranulocytosis is within 30 days in most cases. We report a case of agranulocytosis with secondary soft tissue infection and abscess occuring after increasing the dose of methimazole in a woman who had taken methimazole for more than 10 years. We administered broad-spectrum antibiotics and aspirated the soft tissue abscess. A review of the medical literature regarding agranulocytosis in the setting of ATDs is presented.
