- Abstract
Levamisole is an antihelminthic agent found in nearly 70% of seized U.S. cocaine. Sporadic case literature describes a life-threatening agranulocytosis associated with levamisole exposure secondary to cocaine use. The authors compared the distribution of hematologic indices in a population of cocaine users with and without a confirmed exposure to levamisole.
