Abstract
Anagen effluvium and myelosuppression are rare adverse effects of azathioprine. Hair loss due to azathioprine is more frequent in transplant than in nontransplant patients. We report three patients with azathioprine-induced anagen effluvium and myelosuppression, who were prescribed azathioprine for dermatologic conditions. (SKINmed. 2022;20:192-196).
