Abstract
Two cases of severe drug-induced agranulocytosis (DIA) treated by gran ulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) are reported, A rise in neutrophil counts with abatement of symptoms of infection were achieved promptly, If similar encouraging results are obtained in lar ger studies, severe DIA may be a new indication for granulocyte growth factors, particularly GM-CSF whose specific properties may be of part icular interest in this setting.
