mebendazole and Agranulocytosis

mebendazole has been researched along with Agranulocytosis in 4 studies

Mebendazole: A benzimidazole that acts by interfering with CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM and inhibiting polymerization of MICROTUBULES.
mebendazole : A carbamate ester that is methyl 1H-benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate substituted by a benzoyl group at position 5.

Agranulocytosis: A decrease in the number of GRANULOCYTES; (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS).

"Two patients receiving oral high-dose mebendazole therapy for echinococcosis were found to have severe, reversible neutropenia, apparently due to marrow suppression; platelets and RBCs were also reversibly suppressed in one."7.66Severe, reversible neutropenia during high-dose mebendazole therapy for echinococcosis. ( Axelrod, JL; Levin, MH; Schantz, PM; Weinstein, RA, 1983)
" We present a case report of a patient with alveolar hydatid disease, whose treatment with mebendazole was brief due to side effects of alopecia and granulocytopenia; and review the features of this disease which, with increasing international migration, may be encountered more frequently in Australia."3.67Hydatid disease: the alveolar variety in Australia. A case report with comment on the toxicity of mebendazole. ( Braithwaite, PA; Thomas, RJ; Thompson, RC, 1985)
