As
I was peering down the microscope today I found a patient with neutropenia. Not
a massive neutropenia (it was 1.2 “whatever the units are”), and very
little (i.e. nothing) else of note.
The
diagnosis was “tenofovir”
Tenofovir
is an antiviral agent, and one of its side-effects is that it can cause
neutropenia in over ten per cent of people taking it. There’s an article about
that which you can see by clicking here.
I
shall bear this in mind…
