Notes:
Summary A 63-year old man with Felty's syndrome and pneumonia of unknown origin was treated with GM-CSF. Granulocyte counts increased and arthritis-related symptoms improved under GM-CSF. Pneumonia was treated effectively with antibiotics only during or after GM-CSF application. This suggests, that antibiotic-resistent infections can be treated effectively in patients with Felty's syndrome when granulocyte counts are raised by GM-CSF.
