| Abstract |
|
Allopurinol is widely used to reduce serum uric acid levels and, generally, has mild side effects. Rarely, allopurinol
hypersensitivity syndrome occurs and this consists of severe systemic skin lesions, fever, reduced kidney and liver function, and
leukocytosis with eosinophilia. Extremely rarely, allopurinol-induced pure red cell aplasia is reported. We report a case of
allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome and pure red cell aplasia following allopurinol therapy for eight weeks and the disease
response to steroid therapy in a patient with chronic renal insufficiency. (Korean J Med 76:220-224, 2009) |
