The effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSFs) in leucocytes

Abstract

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors may be responsible for a set of laboratory findings in the peripheral blood film that may be confused with those associated with important diseases like myeloproliferative neoplasms, infection, or megaloblastic anaemia. We present a case report of a 29-year-old woman where these laboratory findings are described.

Keywords: G-CSFs; Macropolycytes; Neoplasms.
