flucytosine and Neutropenia

flucytosine has been researched along with Neutropenia in 27 studies

Flucytosine: A fluorinated cytosine analog that is used as an antifungal agent.
flucytosine : An organofluorine compound that is cytosine that is substituted at position 5 by a fluorine. A prodrug for the antifungal 5-fluorouracil, it is used for the treatment of systemic fungal infections.

Neutropenia: A decrease in the number of NEUTROPHILS found in the blood.
