Colony-stimulating factor in patients with chronic neutropenia.
Urinary and serum colony-stimulating factor (CSF) levels were measured in 11 patients with chronic idiopathic neutropenia without infections and in 10 normal individuals. Urinary CSF output was determined using mouse marrow target cells, and serum CSF activity was assayed with human marrow target cells by the double agar layer technique. Using these methods, there was no significant difference ...
متن کاملDifferential effects of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in children with severe congenital neutropenia.
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a disorder of myelopoiesis characterized by severe neutropenia secondary to a maturational arrest at the level of promyelocytes. We treated five patients with SCN with recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) for 42 days and subsequently, between 1 and 3 months later, with rhG-CSF for 142 days. The objective was to eval...
متن کاملIncreased serum levels of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in patients with severe congenital neutropenia.
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN), also known as Kostmann Syndrome, is characterized by a maturation arrest of myelopoiesis at the level of promyelocytes with absence of neutrophils in bone marrow (BM) and blood. Hypotheses of the pathophysiology of SCN include (1) defective production of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and/or (2) defective response to G-CSF. To exclude defecti...
متن کاملGranulocyte colony-stimulating factor use in patients with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia: clinical and economic benefits.
Neutropenia is the primary dose-limiting toxicity in patients treated with myelosuppressive chemotherapy, leading in some cases to substantial morbidity and early mortality, and disrupting treatment with potentially curative regimens. The use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSFs) such as filgrastim (Neupogen) and pegfilgrastim (Neulasta), as primary prophylaxis starting in the firs...
متن کاملThe Effect of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor Administration on Preterm Infant with Neutropenia and Clinical Sepsis: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Abstract Background This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical effect of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (GCSF) on prognosis of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods Present study is a double- blinded randomized clinical trial, conducted on 46 preterm infants with neutropenia (Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≤ 5000 / μL) and clinical sepsis. Infants were randomly allocated ...
