Abstract
Aplastic anemia followed the use of acetazolamide in a 72-year-old man and the use of methazolamide in a 71-year-old woman. The mechanism by which these drugs suppress bone marrow function is unknown and in fact the etiologic role of these drugs causing aplasia of the bone marrow is presumptive. Periodic blood counts are important to detect early signs of marrow suppression when these drugs are administered.
