There have been increased presentations of levamisole toxicity at Thompson General Hospital.

Levamisole toxicity presents with flu-like symptoms and can include:
-Dangerous drop in white blood cell counts that makes the body vulnerable to severe infections.
-Vasculitis (blood vessel inflammation) that can lead to organ failure and skin lesions, especially on the ears, nose and face.
