Granulocyte transfusions for preventing infections in people with neutropenia or neutrophil dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Despite modern antimicrobials and supportive therapy, bacterial and fungal infections are still major complications in people with prolonged disease-related or therapy-related neutropenia. Since the late 1990s there has been increasing demand for donated granulocyte transfusions to treat or prevent severe infections in people who lack their own functional granulocytes. This is an upd...

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 کاملInfluence of filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA in patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis.
Filgrastim, or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, reverses neutropenia associated with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. During a trial of anti-CMV retinitis therapies coadministered with antiretroviral therapy, 2-4 plasma specimens of HIV-1 RNA were collected from 36 HIV-1-infected patients receiving filgrastim to prevent neutropenia and from...
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 (...
متن کاملSeronegative blood products prevent primary cytomegalovirus infection after bone marrow transplantation.
Seventy one patients underwent bone marrow transplantation for aplastic anaemia or haematological malignancy, 39 as allografts and 32 as autografts. All patients who were seronegative to cytomegalovirus received blood product support exclusively from seronegative community blood donors; seropositive patients received unscreened products. In no patients was there any attempt to reduce cytomegalo...
