improvement of mucositis and rapid recovery of the white series and platelets&#46; The red series has had a slower response to treatment&#44; with persistent normocytic anemia 3 months after discharge&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Pancytopenia is a rare complication of treatment with MTX which can sometimes be fatal&#46; In most cases it is transient and recovers after discontinuation of the drug&#44; but in some patients it causes severe and irreversible pancytopenia&#44; which may result in death&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> MTX toxicity can occur in the absence of specific identifiable risk factors&#44; but it has been seen that there are several factors that can affect its development&#44; such as low renal glomerular filtration&#44; advanced age&#44; interaction with other drugs&#44; poor nutritional status with hypoalbuminemia&#44; increased levels of free drug in plasma and hidden chronic liver disease&#44; so this must be taken into account before starting MTX&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span></a> It is estimated that the incidence and prevalence of MTX pneumonitis is 3&#46;9 and 5&#46;5&#37;&#44; respectively&#44; and in most cases drug withdrawal leads to clinical and radiological improvement over a few weeks&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> In our case&#44; we assume that pneumonitis was due to MTX because the patient did not refer previous respiratory problems&#44; an X-ray a year earlier showed no interstitial pattern and after discontinuation of the drug there was radiographic improvement within months&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">With respect to the prescription dose&#44; there have been numerous warnings to the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products of serious reactions to MTX due to a confusion in the administered dose&#44; taking it daily instead of weekly&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> which is what happened in our case&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Use extreme caution when prescribing MTX&#44; especially in elderly patients&#44; and careful prescription&#44; not only verbally but also in writing&#44; of the dose to be administered weekly as well as insisting on these to both the patients and the relatives and primary care professionals&#44;

increased levels of free drug in plasma and hidden chronic liver disease&#44; so this must be taken into account before starting MTX&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span></a> It is estimated that the incidence and prevalence of MTX pneumonitis is 3&#46;9 and 5&#46;5&#37;&#44;
