  • Title: Adverse reactions to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in hemophiliacs.
    Author: Nahum K, Saidi P, Kim HC, Karp GI.
    Journal: Am J Hematol; 1988 Feb; 27(2):144-5. PubMed ID: 3257646.
    Abstract:
    Adverse reactions to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are very prevalent in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Recently we have observed severe toxicities associated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in three hemophiliacs, a group known to be at risk for developing AIDS. At the time of these reactions to the antibiotic, none of the patients had yet manifested any stigmata of AIDS per se. We advise caution in the use of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in hemophiliacs and other patients at high risk for the development of AIDS.
