Blut. 1989 Dec;59(6):501-2. doi: 10.1007/BF00329495.

Abstract

Lymphocytosis of large granular lymphocytes (LGL) with severe neutropenia was diagnosed in a 42-years old patient. After prednisone yielded only a transitory effect, long lasting improvement was achieved by treatment with cyclosporin A.
