  • Title: [Hematopoietic growth factors as supportive treatment in drug-induced agranulocytosis].
    Author: Hospers GA, de Wolf JT, Hazenberg BP, Vellenga E.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1993 Oct 16; 137(42):2152-4. PubMed ID: 7694163.
    Abstract:
    This article describes the use of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor and granulocyte colony stimulating factor in two patients with drug induced granulocytopenia. A granulocyte count > 1 x 10(9)/l was obtained after 7 days' treatment. These results suggest that the haematopoietic growth factors shortened the period of agranulocytosis and subsequently may improve the survival of these patients.
