Granulocyte transfusions from granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-treated donors: also a question of cell survival?
Recent articles published in this Journal'.* and one Editorial' focused on granulocyte (PMN) transfusions from donors pretreated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to increase cell numbers. Although the therapeutical value of granulocyte transfusion in infected neutropenic patients is not definitively established, as discussed in the Editorial by Strauss,' the results reported s...
متن کاملCurrent status of leukocyte and platelet administration in cancer therapy.
Leukapheresis and plateletpheresis are rather commonly performed in order to obtain single donor concentrates of granulocytes and platelets. These procedures, although relatively safe, present occasional risks to donors and recipients. Some of the occasional adverse problems experienced by donors include citrate toxicity or acute hypocalcemia, hypotension, hypervolemia, venospasm or vein occlus...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus pneumonia in adults with leukemia: an emerging problem.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia is reportedly unusual among adults with leukemia who have not undergone transplantation. To assess the frequency of CMV pneumonia and its outcome during the present time, we reviewed the experience of 2136 hospitalized adults with leukemia. Sixty-one patients (2.9%) had CMV pneumonia diagnosed. The frequency doubled from 1.4% in 1992--1994 to 2.8% in 1995--1997 (...

respond to antimicrobial therapy alone. In a case-control study of severely neutropenic SC transplant recipients with invasive infections who received granulocyte transfusions, we recently showed that G-CSF– mobilized granulocyte transfusions were not clearly associated with improved outcomes.9 In that study, patients were carefully matched according to infection type, underlying conditions, an...
متن کاملGranulocyte concentrates: prolonged functional capacity during storage in the presence of phenotypic changes.
BACKGROUND Granulocyte transfusion has been proposed as a bridging therapy for patients with prolonged periods of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, who suffer from severe fungal and bacterial infections. To recover, adequate numbers of granulocytes are required when the patients are refractory to standard treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the functional characteristics and efficacy...
