Classical Hematology | R/R
Classical Hematologist
Patient with LGL and associated neutropenia. He's ANC continues to be below 500 (most recently 200.) I've had him on MTX weekly dosing that I've gone form 10 mg/m2 to 15 with no improvement. I've done courses of prednisone tapers that transiently improve his counts but for brief periods of time. He's never had an infection but I'm concerned with the prolonged periods of neutropenia and was hoping to hear your thoughts on other possible treatment options?
