title: [Therapeutic value of the cell separator. Review and case reports].
abstract: The advent of continuous-s, semicontinuous-flow centrifugation and filtration leukapheresis systems permits the procurement of large quantities of granulocytes and platelets from single donors and the removal of abnormal excessive blood components (plateletpheresis, lymphapheresis, eosinapheresis, plasma exchange). This paper describes therapeutic applications of CFC, SCFC, FL in various disease processes; the results are discussed. Our data agree with those reported by the litterature.
