Abstract

The article discusses several cases of agranulocytosis associated with cocaine use in four U.S. states and Canadian provinces. The New Mexico Department of Health's (NMDOH) investigation revealed that several patients with agranulocytosis had levamisole, which is used as an additive to cocaine. Other areas with similar findings are Washington, British Columbia and Alberta.
