Granulocyte Transfusions for Invasive Fungal Infections Refractory to Conventional Treatment in Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients With Hepatitis‐Associated Aplastic Anemia
These are the first two cases to report the use of GTx in PLTR with bone marrow failure due to HAAA. Both patients tolerated GTx without side effects. We propose the consideration of GTx as adjunctive therapy for life-threatening IFI refractory to conventional antifungals in PLTR with severe neutropenia.
