The authors describe a patient with hyperthyroidism who developed after three weeks' treatment with carbimazole agranulocytosis and the condition was complicated by septic shock. The authors used for treatment in addition to antibiotics and corticoids, for the first time in their practice, human recombinant granulocyte macrophage colonies stimulating factor (rHuGM-CSF) which produced a very favourable effect. In the meantime the patient was prepared for goitrectomy, operated and discharged in a satisfactory condition to have ambulatory treatment.
