Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To report and review the use of cytokines for the treatment of clozapine-induced neutropenia. METHOD: Case report and review of literature. RESULTS: Cytokines, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), appear to shorten the duration of clozapine-induced neutropenia. CONCLUSIONS: G-CSF or GM-CSF therapy should be considered in patients with profound neutropenia of prolonged duration (high-risk neutropenia).
