## Abstract Myelosuppression is a common sequelae of radiotherapy, occasionally delaying the completion of treatment. In this report, we describe successful reversal of radiationβinduced neutropenia in a child receiving craniospinal irradiation by granulocyte colonystimulating factor (GβCSF). We su
Eighteen surgical patients were studied to determine the effect of anesthesia (general or spinal) and surgery on serum and urinary colony-stimulating factor(s) (CSF). CSF is a leukopoietin that stimulates proliferation of macrophages and granulocytes from bone marrow precursor cells. CSF was assayed
