Abstract:
The use of granulocyte stimulating factor (G-CSF) (Neupogen, Amgen Inc., Thousand Oaks, Calif.) has become acceptable for treating both primary and acquired leukopenia. Leukopenia associated with infection is an ominous sign of overwhelming sepsis. In this article, we present two cases of infection that were related to leukopenia which were successfully treated with G-CSF.
