β¦ Synopsis
Although the patient had symptoms and physical and histologic features of WG, we suggest the illness was caused by methyldopa. Most important, the patient had no evidence of pulmonary or renal involvement, and the disorder resolved without the use of steroids or cytotoxic agents.
Allopurinol can also cause severe hepatic disease, occurring chiefly in patients with renal insufficiency (7). However, the time course of the disease and the normal renal function in this patient provide evidence against allopurinol as the causative agent. Synergy between allopurinol and methyldopa leading to this reaction is a possible, but not previously reported, mechanism of toxicity.

To study early events in mast cell/basophil development, the phenotype of a panel of murine cell lines at various stages of differentiation was determined. Based on the expression on various mast cell-specific proteases and several additional hematopoietic differentiation markers, the cell lines CFT
