The granulocyte infusion is a lifesaving procedure when intervened at an appropriate time. Typical candidates for granulocyte transfusions are prolonged neutropenic patients ( ANC < 500/?l ) with or without symptoms of septicemia / fungemia or proven neutrophil dysfunction and not responding to antibiotics. Separation of granulocytes from a healthy donor is called granulocytapheresis.
