Mercaptopurine and Cytomegalovirus infection - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Cytomegalovirus infection is found among people who take Mercaptopurine, especially for people who are male, 2-9 old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people take Mercaptopurine and have Cytomegalovirus infection. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19,865 people who have side effects when taking Mercaptopurine from the FDA, and is updated regularly. You can use the study as a second opinion to make health care decisions.
Phase IV trials are used to detect adverse drug outcomes and monitor drug effectiveness in the real world. With medical big data and AI algorithms, eHealthMe is running millions of phase IV trials and makes the results available to the public. Our original studies have been referenced on 600+ medical publications including The Lancet, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Nature.
19,865 people reported to have side effects when taking Mercaptopurine.
Among them, 136 people (0.68%) have Cytomegalovirus infection.
