Abstract

Abstract: Graves disease is one of the most common endocrine diseases. Leucopenia or agranulocytosis can be coexistent with Graves' disease in some patients.It can be seen in patients before treatment and after anti-thyroid medication. This phenomenon is often delayed in clinical diagnosis and treatment,which sometimes causes serious infections and makes the disease worse. According to the research progress in the recent years, including the diagnosis, pathogenesis and treatment about the desease, the authors aim to show early discovery and timely treatment in patients with Graves’ disease presenting with leucopenia or agranulocytosis.

Key words: diabetes mellitus, type 2, acarbose, hyperthyroidism, leukopenia, agranulocytosis
