Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely administered in all age groups due to their effectiveness in reducing fever, relieving pain, and reducing inflammation. However, they have also been identified as the second most common cause of drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions, after beta-lactam antibiotics. Adverse reactions to NSAIDs can range from expected pharmacological side effects such as gastritis to severe allergies, including anaphylaxis.

This case highlights that refractory pancytopenia leading to death can occur with methimazole treatment even at a very low cumulative dose and after a very short duration of exposure. In addition, the standard treatments to correct the pancytopenia may not be effective and a bone marrow transplant may be required. Current American Thyroid Association guidelines do not recommend routine monitoring of the complete blood count in patients receiving thionamides because of the rapidity of the onset of agranulocytosis and the lack of positive evidence that such monitoring would be useful.
