Abstrakt: Total number of 252 cycles of GM-CSF-Leucomax Sandoz (5 mg/kg/day s.c.) and/or G-CSF Filgrastim Hoffmann-La Roche (5-10 mg/kg/day s.c.) was applied in 124 children aged from 0.5-20 years during neutropenia associated with chemotherapy of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Twenty four children with NHL treated according to the same chemotherapy protocol but without G-CSF and GM-CSF served as a control group. Our study have demonstrated the good efficacy of both G-CSF and GM-CSF therapy. They shortened the period of neutropenia, reduced the number of febrile days, infection's duration and decreased the frequency of infectious complications.
