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.

Sertralin, antidepresan ve anksiyolitik özellikleri olan seçici serotonin gerialım inhibitörü (SSGI) grubundan bir antidepresandır. Sertraline bağlı hematolojik yan etkiler nadirdir. İlaca bağlı nötropeni gelişimi nadir ancak ölümcül bir tablodur. Hastalar ateş, titreme, boğaz ağrısı, kas ve eklem ağrısı gibi nonspesifik semptomlarla başvurabilir. Tanı koymak zor olsa da zamanında tanınması çok önemlidir. Bu yazıda sertralin kullanımı sonucu nötropeni gelişen erkek hasta sunulmuştur.
