Abstract
|
|
|
|
Oxcarbazepine (OXC) is generally assumed to be safe with regard to the risk for adverse hematopoietic effects. Recently, pancytopenia and leukopenia associated with the treatment of OXC have been reported. However, that serious adverse effect has never been reported in Korea. We describe a case of 47-year-old woman with temporal lobe epilepsy who developed reversible leukopenia following OXC monotherapy. She stopped to take OXC and WBC count was normalized completely.
