sulfamethoxazole and Leukopenia

sulfamethoxazole has been researched along with Leukopenia in 23 studies

Sulfamethoxazole: A bacteriostatic antibacterial agent that interferes with folic acid synthesis in susceptible bacteria. Its broad spectrum of activity has been limited by the development of resistance. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p208)
sulfamethoxazole : An isoxazole (1,2-oxazole) compound having a methyl substituent at the 5-position and a 4-aminobenzenesulfonamido group at the 3-position.

Leukopenia: A decrease in the number of LEUKOCYTES in a blood sample below the normal range (LEUKOCYTE COUNT less than 4000).

( Hall, CL, 1974)
" Only 5 of 37 patients started on trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were able to complete treatment; in 29 patients drug toxicity occurred and in 19 treatment was changed due to adverse reactions that included rash, fever, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and transaminase elevation."3.67Adverse reactions to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

( Friedland, GH; Harris, CA; Klein, RS; Small, CB, 1985)
" Statistical analysis showed that the association of leucopenia and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole therapy was dependent on the time after the transplantation procedure and was not related to the dosage of immunosuppressive chemotherapy or renal function."1.25Leucopenia associated with trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole after renal transplantation.
