Reversible agranulocytosis associated with oral terbinafine in a pediatric patient.

We report a case of terbinafine-induced agranulocytosis in a pediatric patient. This effect was noted 4 weeks after starting terbinafine and resolved within 1 week without the institution of therapy with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, a course similar to reports in adults. With the incidence of severe side effects still unclear in children, this case argues for continued blood surveillance during courses of terbinafine and for the confirmation of infection before initiation of the drug.

Candida is a common part of the normal flora in several noncutaneous body sites, but invasion of the skin can occur under certain conditions. A case is presented in which the prolonged wearing of combat boots and damp socks caused an acutely inflamed papulopustular candidiasis of the feet.
