Agranulocytosis secondary to zinc excess: Clinically relevant observations, including response to G‐CSF and oral copper

Abstract Anemia and leukopenia because of copper deficiency can be mistaken for myelodysplasia. Key issues, including response to G‐CSF and oral copper, are discussed. This case illustrates a significant deleterious effect of excessive zinc consumption.
