Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with profound neutropenia and significant morbidity and mortality. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of non-glycosylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rHuG-CSF) in accelerating myeloid recovery and its influence on infections, supportive therapy, and transplant-related mortality we carried out a randomized study in pediatric patients receiving HSCT.
