  • Title: Treatment of neutropenic oral ulceration in human immunodeficiency virus infection with G-CSF.
    Author: Luzzi GA, Jones BJ.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod; 1996 Jan; 81(1):53-4. PubMed ID: 8850484.
    Abstract:
    We report the novel use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in the treatment of severe oral ulceration in human immunodeficiency virus-associated neutropenia. A 38-year-old man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome developed severe refractory oral aphthous ulceration that persisted for 6 months despite a range of empirical treatments including corticosteroid. Rapid resolution of the ulceration occurred once the neutrophil count was restored to normal with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
