## Abstract Recombinant human granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (rhG‐CSF) and erythropoietin (rhEPO) were used to treat patients with aplastic anemia (AA). In terms of effects on erythrocyte recovery, the combined use of rhG‐CSF and rhEPO showed a favorable response in 6 of 14 (42.9%) patients
The hematopoietic system in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) shows both quantitative and qualitative deficiencies, i.e., reduced numbers of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) and impaired HPC proliferation in long-term marrow cultures (LTMC). Since recombinant human granulocyte macrophage-colony
