We present a case of neutropenia complicating methimazole therapy for Graves’ disease in a 4.7-year child. The decreasing neutrophil count encountered 8 months of starting therapy, associated with losing the maintained euthyroid state, presented with the typical manifestations of neutropenia and improved rapidly after a 24 hour discontinuation of therapy followed by changing its frequency with the same dose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
