Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Out Door Patients Department and Pathology Laboratory in Liaquat University Medical & Health Sciences, Hospital Hyderabad/Jamshoro, from May 2016 to Apr 2017.

Complete blood count was analyzed on Sysmex Kx21 and thyroid profiles were analyzed on Elecysis 2010 from the Pathology Department. SPSS version 22 was used for data analysis. Result: Out of total patients, 32 (16%) were males and 168 (84%) were females with mean age of 37.44 ± 14.82 years. Majority of patients 68 (34%) were anemic, while 4 (2%) had agranulocytosis and 11 (5.5%) had thrombocytopenia. Headache was reported in 111 (55.5%), exophthalmos in 106 (53%), sore throat in 172 (86%), fever in 136 (68%) and weight loss in 95 (47.5%) patients. Conclusion: Propylthiouracil causes defective hematopoiesis in hyperthyroid patients because propylthiouracil has adverse suppressive effects on bone marrow.Uzma Naz ShaikhMuhammad Ali GhotoAbdullah DayoMudassar Iqbal ArainJibran KhanArmy Medical College RawalpindiarticleagranulocytosisanemiahyperthyroidpropylthiouracilMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENPakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, Vol 71, Iss 5, Pp 1787-1790 (2021)
