Abstract:

Metronidazole is a nitroimidazole antibacterial agent that is highly effective for the treatment of protozoal and anaerobic infections. Metronidazole is known to cause hematologic adverse effects, including a reversible mild neutropenia; in rare circumstances, thrombocytopenia has been associated with metronidazole treatment. We present a case of aplastic anemia related to the extended use of metronidazole.
