A Case of Granulocyte Transfusion in a Patient with Severe Neutropenia.

Granulocyte transfusions have been used to treat infections in neutropenic patients, despite persistent controversy over their effectiveness. This poster illustrates a case study of a 14-year-old boy who was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) complicated with neutropenic fever which did not improve despite optimal antimicrobial treatment. Subsequently, the medical team decided to administer granulocyte transfusions. From this case report, it was observed that granulocyte transfusion did not yield improvements due to a few factors which are the patient's advanced condition and the granulocyte content.
