Pathogenic effects of monocytopenia, granulocytopenia and dexamethasone on the course of experimental Pseudomonas aeruginosa endocarditis in rabbits.
Pathogenic effects of monocytopenia, granulocytopenia and dexamethasone on the course of experimental Pseudomonas aeruginosa endocarditis in rabbits.Intravegetation inflammatory cell influxes were scored on a semiquantitative histopathologic scale.
In VP-16-213 and dexamethasone recipients and tricuspid endocarditis controls, gradual decreases in mean intravegetation bacterial densities were observed over a 13-day infection period; in contrast, HN2 treatment was associated with a significant increase in intravegetation bacterial densities by day 13 of infection (p less than 0.001 vs. other tricuspid endocarditis groups).

Granulocytopenia: A marked decrease in the number of granulocytes.
Granulocytopenia or, as it is also called, agranulocytosis results in a syndrome of frequent chronic bacterial infections of the skin, lungs, throat etc. Although "agranulocytosis" literally means no granulocytes, there may, in fact, be some granulocytes but too few of them, i.e.
Granulocytopenia can be genetic and inherited or it can be acquired as, for example, an aspect of leukemia.

Reversible granulocytopenia in association with riluzole therapy -- North et al.
Granulocytopenia was diagnosed and evaluation for a possible causative infectious process was negative; riluzole was considered a possible offender.
CONCLUSIONS: Granulocytopenia has been reported as an adverse effect of riluzole but is not a complication well known to clinicians, and there are no detailed reports published in the literature.

This article reviews the results of this post-marketing surveillance and other works available to date, including an illustrative case report, and presents measures that should be taken with regard to safety during treatment with vesnarinone.
Vesnarinone-induced granulocytopenia has appeared in relatively early stages of vesnarinone therapy, and characteristically results in a rapid decrease in granulocyte count.
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor may contribute to recovery from severe granulocytopenia, although it should be used carefully because of its potential to cause adult respiratory distress syndrome.

Pathogenesis of Granulocytopenia and Bone Marrow Atrophy during Classical Swine Fever Involves Apoptosis and Necrosis of Uninfected Cells
Granulocytopenia, a hematological hallmark of classical swine fever, is partially responsible for the suppression of innate immune defenses during classical swine fever.
Taken together, the results demonstrate that granulocytopenia and bone marrow atrophy are mediated by hematopoietic cell death and that indirect virus–host-mediated mechanisms are likely to be responsible.

Unanticipated Toxicity to 5-FU Several reports have described an inherited (pharmacogenetic) disorder in which individuals with absent or significantly decreased DPD activity develop life-threatening toxicity following exposure to 5-FU.
Since the catabolic pathway does not function in DPD deficient patients, administration of standard doses of 5-FU results in altered 5-FU pharmacokinetics and severe toxicity including mucositis, granulocytopenia, neuropathy and death.
The cause for this toxicity appears to be decreased drug clearance, resulting in markedly prolonged exposure to 5-FU.

Michael D. Combs, Pharm.D., Paul J. Perry, Ph.D., and Kristine A. Bever, Pharm.D. We reviewed the charts of 58 patients with treatment-refractory schizophrenia who were receiving clozapine, to determine if the drug's active metabolite, N-desmethylclozapine, is a biologic marker for impending clozapine-induced granulocytopenia and agranulocytosis.
No significant correlation between granulocyte counts and patient demographic variables of clozapine and N-desmethylclozapine steady-state plasma concentrations, clozapine:N-desmethylclozapine ratio, age, gender, clozapine dosage, smoking status, and race were found.
On the contrary, its plasma concentrations correlated positively with granulocyte counts.
