Granulocyte colony stimulating factor in neutropenic patients with infective endocarditis.
A well known complication in the treatment of infectious endocarditis is development of neutropenia caused by treatment with antibiotics in high concentrations over long periods. Neutropenia often necessitates discontinuation of antibiotic treatment. Three patients with infectious endocarditis who developed neutropenia are reported. The patients were treated with granulocyte colony stimulating ...
متن کاملGranulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
In the background section of their abstract, Woei-Cherng Shyu and associates state that because granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties and the capacity to mobilize stem cells, it has the potential to be used in treatment of stroke. However, there are limited data about the effects of G-CSF on hemostasis. It has been suggested that G-CS...

Activated eosinophils exert toxicity to the myocardium mediated by their major basic We have evidence that eosinophilia induced by recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colonystimulating factor (GM-CSF) may not be a harmless phenomenon in some patients. Case Repott. A 66-year-old Caucasian man presented first in 1986 with fever and an absolute neutrophil count of 400 to 800/pL. In the follow...
متن کاملGranulocyte colony stimulating factor.
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was discovered during attempts to define the normal regulators present in cell supernatants that could induce terminal differentiation of the murine myeloid leukemic cell line WEHI-3B D+. The purification and subsequent cloning of both murine and human G-CSF allowed the normal functions of this molecule to be elucidated and indicated that it was a relativel...
متن کاملBRIEF REPORT Clozapine-Associated Agranulocytosis Treatment With Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor/Granulocyte- Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor A Systematic Review
Purpose/Background: Clozapine is associated with hematological abnormalities, notably neutropenia, which may progress to agranulocytosis. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) have been used to reduce the frequency and duration of clozapine-associated neutropenia. This review aims to explore the use, efficacy, and tolerabilit...
