I had a case of unexpected neutropenia
today. The given diagnosis was “MS on Lemtrada”.
Lemtrada is a brand name for alemtuzumab,
a known side effect of which is neutropenia.
Rather than laying an egg and running
screaming to the consultant, I didn’t end up setting off a totally unnecessary red
alert.
Here’s an article on the
matter.
I learned something today.
