We report false HLA genotyping results due to LOH and a coinciding steep rise in neutrophils following filgrastim stimulation in a patient with very severe aplastic anaemia.
Successful treatment of methimazole-induced severe aplastic anemia with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and high-dosage steroids.
Successful treatment of methimazole-induced severe aplastic anemia with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and high-dosage steroids.
However, recent reports of myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (t-MDS/AML) developing after treatment with immunosuppressants and G-CSF has raised concern over the use of this agent in patients with aplastic anemia.
Absence of mutations in the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor gene in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloblastic leukaemia occurring after treatment of aplastic anaemia with G-CSF.
The evidence of clonal evolution with monosomy 7 in aplastic anemia following granulocyte colony-stimulating factor using the polymerase chain reaction.
We suggest that it is important to pay close attention to the appearance of clonal hematopoiesis during the administration of G-CSF to patients with idiopathic severe bone marrow aplasia.
We studied mRNA expression of the cytokine granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), IL-6, IL-8 and stem cell factor of stromal cells derived from bone marrows of nine normal volunteers, eight patients with aplastic anaemia (AA) and seven patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
