title: Empirical investigation on the risk of agranulocytosis/leucopenia under medication with antidepressants.
abstract: Three different investigations do not demonstrate that treatment with certain antidepressants is combined with an increased risk of leucopenia/agranulocytosis as compared to other antidepressants. But prospective drug monitoring studies on large numbers of patients are necessary to find an answer to this question.
