  • Title: Granulocyte colony stimulating factor treatment for delayed recovery of ticlopidine-related neutropenia.
    Author: Hung MJ, Wang CH, Cherng WJ.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pract; 2002; 56(1):70-1. PubMed ID: 11831843.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a patient who developed neutropenia associated with sepsis and endophthalmitis after ticlopidine therapy for coronary stenting. The neutropenia did not resolve until granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was given. This uncommon case brings to attention the need for the immediate use of G-CSF in patients with delayed recovery from drug-related neutropenia and severe infection.
