Infections are the most common cause of neutropenia in adults, followed by drug-induced neutropenias. Andres E, Federici L, Weitten T, et al. Recognition and management of drug-induced blood cytopenias: the example of drug-induced acute neutropenia and agranulocytosis.
Drugs can cause both hypoplastic neutropenia from bone marrow suppression or autoimmune neutropenia. Chemotherapeutic agents are commonly known to cause neutropenia. Levamisole is a veterinary antiparasitic drug that has been frequently used as an adulterant in cocaine and is known to cause agranulocytosis.

The most common drugs associated with severe neutropenia are antithyroid medications, ticlopidine, clozapine, sulfasalazine, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and dipyrone. 14 The mAb anti-CD20 (rituximab) also causes late-onset neutropenia. 15 If a potential causative agent is identifiable, drug-induced neutropenia is sometimes reversible at

Drugs given to treat these infections may also cause neutropenia. (See Drug-induced neutropenia and agranulocytosis .) This review will discuss the neutropenias that can occur during bacterial, viral, parasitic, or rickettsial infections. Approaches to determining the cause of unexplained neutropenia in children and adults are presented
A G-CSF is a drug that doctors prescribe for treating neutropenia. Neutropenia is a condition that causes a person's white blood cell level to
