Abstract
- Twenty-four patients presenting with pancytopenia following cytotoxic therapy were studied. Seventeen of them were given 900 mg/day of lithium carbonate apart from other supportive measures. Seven patients were used as controls and were not given any lithium. After 2 weeks, granulocyte count was significantly higher (p less than .05) in lithium-treated group. Platelet count was also higher though not statistically significant.
