- Abstract
The report details possible haematological and dermatological side effects due to co-trimoxazole: agranulocytosis and epidermiolysis bullosa (Lyell) respectively developed after short-term therapy with co-trimoxazole in two women treated for tonsillitis and acute relapse of chronic obstructive bronchitis respectively. The clinical findings, therapeutical management and clinical outcome of both patients are described. Reviewing the literature the relevance of co-trimoxazole induced side effects is discussed.
