- Abstract
Granulocyte transfusion (GTX) is an adjunctive treatment for neutropenic patients with severe and uncontrolled infections. Granulocytes can be prepared by pooled granulocytes concentrates from whole blood buffy coats (PGC) or apheresis granulocytes concentrates (AGC) methods. PGC method is associated with lesser donor risk and its yield is not inferior to AGC method. In this case, a paediatric patient with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) was given a GTX that was prepared using the PGC method. The GTX was successful in improving the patient's condition and the patient was able to be discharged three weeks later.
