  • Title: Vancomycin-induced neutropenia complicating bone marrow recovery in a patient with leukemia. Case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Mordenti J, Ries C, Brooks GF, Unadkat N, Tseng A.
    Journal: Am J Med; 1986 Feb; 80(2):333-5. PubMed ID: 3456201.
    Abstract:
    Neutropenia associated with intravenous vancomycin therapy is reported in a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia. The patient received 12 days of vancomycin therapy without incidence; however, a second course of vancomycin initiated on hospital day 14 produced severe neutropenia. This delayed onset is typical of vancomycin-induced neutropenia. The neutropenia reversed, without complications, as soon as the vancomycin was discontinued.
