To evaluate the therapeutic potential of hematopoietic growth factors (HGFs) during immunosuppressive treatment (IST) of severe aplastic anemia (SAA), 38 patients with newly diagnosed SAA received IST alone (group I), or IST plus recombinant human erythropoietin and granulocyte-macrophage colony-sti

## 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
## Abstract Cycling intensive chemotherapy currently used to treat pediatric solid tumors induces severe neutropenia. Prolonged neutropenia is a major risk factor for septic death which occurs in up to 5% of febrile or septic neutropenic episodes. We treated 18 neutropenic pediatric cancer patients
