Abstract
We describe the case of a patient who developed neutropenia associated with sepsis and endophthalmitis after ticlopidine therapy for coronary stenting. The neutropenia did not resolve until granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was given. This uncommon case brings to attention the need for the immediate use of G-CSF in patients with delayed recovery from drug-related neutropenia and severe infection.
