GM-CSF in the treatment of Felty syndrome

Am J Hematol. 1991 May;37(1):55-6. doi: 10.1002/ajh.2830370114.

Abstract

Many therapeutic agents have been tried with variable success in the treatment of Felty neutropenia, but the reports are anecdotal. We now describe the second trial of recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), in a splenectomized, infected patient with Felty syndrome.
