Clinical manifestations of disturbances in granulopoiesis kinetics: Idiosyncratic agranulocytosis

Journal Title: Αρχεία Ελληνικής Ιατρικής - Year 2011, Vol 28, Issue 4

Abstract

This review covers the kinetics of granulopoiesis, the functions and apoptosis of the granulocytes and the metabolism of the granulocyte series, along with a report of the various different drugs that cause alterations in the numbers of granulocytes. The mechanisms of drug induced idiosyncratic agranulocytosis are described, especially those activated after treatment with aminopyrine, amiodarone and clozapine.
