  • Title: Clinical experience with Filgrastim in AIDS.
    Author: Kuritzkes DR.
    Journal: J Hematother Stem Cell Res; 1999; 8 Suppl 1():S17-9. PubMed ID: 10596031.
    Abstract:
    Data have shown that neutropenia is a risk factor for severe bacterial infections. Two trials were done in HIV-infected patients to study the effect of Filgrastim on neutropenia and the incidence of severe bacterial infections. The incidence of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection in this setting was also evaluated. This paper reviews the results of these two studies, which suggest that Filgrastim is safe and effective in preventing severe neutropenia in patients with advanced HIV infection.
