The use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in patients with haematological malignancies is associated with less febrile neutropenia episodes. But in the presence of COVID-19 infection, the administration of G-CSF is challenging as it may trigger a robust inflammatory reaction resulting in cytokine storm, respiratory failure and severe outcomes.
在血液恶性肿瘤患者中使用粒细胞集落刺激因子(G-CSF)可减少发热性中性粒细胞减少症的发生。但是,在 COVID-19 感染的情况下,G-CSF 的给药具有挑战性,因为它可能引发强烈的炎症反应,导致细胞因子风暴、呼吸衰竭和严重后果。
