Hi Peter.
I was surprised to read that
chloramphenicol, known to cause aplastic anemia, is still used to treat meningitis and other ailments in some countries. Perhaps there are cases where drugs like this are used with full knowledge of their dangers and an assessment of the risk, when no better treatment is available, but my concern is that in some cases they may be prescribed with a lack of information about the potential side effects.
If you run into information about when and where chloramphenicol is still used, please let us know.
