Abstract
Neutropenia related to sertraline treatment: a case report Sertraline is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) with antidepressant and anxiolytic properties. Hematological adverse effects related to sertraline are rare. Drug-induced neutropenia is a rare but fatal condition. Patients may present with non-specific symptoms like fever, shivering, sore throat, or muscle and joint pain. Even though the condition is hard to diagnose, an early detection is essential. In this article, we present a male patient with neutropenia related to sertraline treatment.
