Aside from known causes of immunocompromised states one cause which may have not received due attention is consumption of adulterated recreational drugs. Levamisole-adulterated cocaine poses a particular concern given that documented risk of agranulocytosis and severe neutropenia that may put those exposed at risk of bacterial superinfections and other complications as well as potentially increasing exposure. While oustanding questions remain these risks may warrant inclusion into patient counseling activities by clinicians.
