Background: Oral contraceptives (OCs) are one of the most commonly used classes of drugs worldwide. A case of neutropenia and associated infections in a young woman using OCs that settled after discontinuation and reappeared upon re-challenge, has led us to investigate a potential association between oral contraceptives and neutropenia.
