Reversible Thrombocytosis and Anemia Due to Miconazole Therapy

Abstract: Miconazole was administered intravenously in six consecutive patients with, active coccidioidal infection. Such treatment was associated with progressive anemia and thrombocytosis. The hematological abnormalities appeared to be dose related and potentially reversible. Bone marrow studies demonstrated erythroid hypoplasia and increased or active platelet production in three subjects. No hemorrhagic or thrombotic episodes were identified. It is suggested that careful hematological monitoring be performed in subj… Show more

“…Transfusions may be required in patients who are already anaemic (Stevens 1977). Marmion et al (1976) described significant normochromic, normocytic anaemia in 6 of 6 patients receiving miconazole for coccidioidomycosis. Bone marrow aspirates performed in 3 patients demonstrated erythroid hypoplasia with adequate iron stores.…”

“…Sung and co-workers did not find effects on marrow of miconazole, but I call your readers' attention to our documentation of reversible drugrelated thrombocytosis, and anemia due to normoblastic hypoplasia. 4 The current incidence of these effects in serial observation of study patients is 30 percent and 48 percent, respectively.5 The most important side effect of miconazole therapy to be aware of is hyponatremia, which has been severe in some patients and occurs with an incidence as high as 47 percent.5…”

“…15 To improve the application of the data to the Naranjo probability scale, adaptations were made by adding thrombocytosis-specific criteria to improve the grading of case reports for causality, as seen in Table 2. For the purpose of this review, reports of suspected thrombocytosis were systematically assessed for causality (Table 3 16-45 ). The following criteria will be utilized to assess causality of a drug by case report: number of cases described by independent investigators and the Naranjo score associated with causality.…”
