leflunomide and Neutropenia

leflunomide has been researched along with Neutropenia in 4 studies

Leflunomide: An isoxazole derivative that inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, the fourth enzyme in the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway. It is used an immunosuppressive agent in the treatment of RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS and PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS.
leflunomide : A monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 5-methyl-1,2-oxazole-4-carboxylic acid with the anilino group of 4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline. The prodrug of teriflunomide.

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

" This observational study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of TCZ in combination with either MTX or leflunomide (LEF) in the treatment of patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and an inadequate response to one or more DMARDs and/or biological agents in a real-world setting."7.81Comparative effectiveness of tocilizumab with either methotrexate or leflunomide in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

"We present the case of a 62-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis who developed a leukaemoid reaction and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration that had been given to treat neutropenia secondary to methotrexate and leflunomide toxicity."4.12Acute respiratory distress syndrome precipitated by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in undiagnosed ( Chua, C; Cooke, R; Doig, C; Leung, T, 2022)
