Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 33-year-old woman who was presented with febrile neutropenia after she initiated treatment with deferiprone. She has a history of beta-thalassemia which requires monthly blood transfusions, complicated by myocardial iron deposition and iron overload. The patient was trated for retropharyngeal abscess having piperacillin-tazobactam.
