title: [Pancytopenia as a complication of the treatment of toxoplasmosis].
abstract: Therapeutical doses of pyrimethamine are very close to toxic ones. Pyrimethamine is widely used in toxoplasmosis therapy. Hematological complications following pyrimethamine administration were seen in 4 patients treated for toxoplasmosis at our hospital in the last year. Pancytopenic syndrome was diagnosed in all four cases. Three patients recovered completely whereas ITP is persisting in one patient.
