Key Clinical Message A case of feverish benign neutropenia occurring in a diabetic patient receiving pregabalin for peripheral neuropathy is reported. Although pregabalin‐induced neutropenia is very rare, it is important to keep in mind that this drug like other anticonvulsants used for neuropathic pain, can cause severe neutropenia.
