The Granulocyte Response to Endotoxin in Patients with Hematologic Disorders.

Granulocyte transfusion in children.

We describe a single institution experience with the use of granulocyte transfusion in children. This is a retrospective analysis of 45 collections of granulocyte units obtained by apheresis after priming with dexamethasone, infused into 17 children with severe neutropenic infections. Ten children survived the acute infection. Granulocyte transfusion is a useful adjunct to antimicrobials and gr...

ABC of Transfusion. Platelet and granulocyte transfusions.

Multiple.packs for collection of blood. Left to right: transfer pack containing optimal additive solution; primary pack containing 450 ml of blood in anticoagulant; and pack for collection of platelets with extended shelf ife. Transfusion of platelets and granulocytes may be needed for patients with life threatening thrombocytopenia and neutropenia caused by bone marrow failure. These may be th...
