| Fukata et al., Los Angeles, CA, USA, reported the effect of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF) on the recovery from agranulocytosis by ATD. In total 24 patients were investigated; 10 served as a control group, and 14 were given GCSF. Recovery time was calculated at 3 points i.e. when neutrophil count reached 500, 1000, and 5000/µl respectively. The results showed that recovery times were not different between the two groups and it is concluded that GCSF does not improve recovery from ATD induced agranulocytosis. |
