Thyrotoxicosis-induced pancytopenia is a rare manifestation. The practical challenge is to differentiate thyrotoxicosis-induced pancytopenia from the side effects of anti-thyroid treatment following the commencement of treatment. Although some of the possible underlying pathogeneses have been reported, the complete mechanisms remain unclear concerning pancytopenia in uncontrolled thyrotoxicosis. Thyrotoxicosis-induced pancytopenia is completely reversible with the administration of anti-thyroid drugs at an appropriate time and regular follow-up to prevent further recurrence.
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.
