title: Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia in HIV Positive Patients with Lymphoma: Comparison of Pegfilgrastim with Daily Filgrastim Administration.
abstract: We retrospectively compared the incidence of neutropenia in two groups of HIV patients with lymphoma, who underwent chemotherapy supported by once-per-cycle administration of pegfilgrastim or by daily subcutaneous injection of filgrastim, respectively. Our findings indicate that pegfilgrastim and filgastrim produce similar results in preventing both neutropenia and febrile neutropenia.
