Neutropenia (Severe Chronic)
How is it treated?
Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) is used in the management of SCN and can significantly improve the quality of life by stimulating the bone marrow to produce neutrophils to fight infections. G-CSFs are given by an injection just under the skin using a very small needle. To make this less painful, a local anaesthetic cream can be applied to the site half an hour before the injection is due. Prophylactic antibiotics may be given in addition, or are often effective alone for less severely affected individuals.
