The @entity1 was diagnosed in childhood as having severe @entity9957 and had recurrent admissions with severe @entity281 . In 1987, prior to getting married, she was sterilized. She continued to require i.v. antibiotics when she contracted a severe @entity281 . On one occasion, she was treated with growth colony stimulating factor ( @entity1261 ). Her increased neutrophil count was sustained following this treatment. In June 1993, she wished to start a family and underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. @entity1261 was given prior to oocyte retrieval. She conceived on her first cycle and an ultrasound scan revealed a singleton pregnancy. Throughout the course of the pregnancy, her white cell count was monitored closely and remained at <1.0x10(9)/l. The pregnancy progressed uneventfully and at 37 weeks gestation she was admitted for @entity1261 injections. At 38 weeks she was delivered of a @entity1 weighing 3350 g, by elective Caesarean section. His white cell count was normal. This is the first case of @entity1261 being used before conception and during pregnancy in a @entity1 with @entity9957 . It shows that advances in cytokine therapy and close interdisciplinary liaison can lead to a successful outcome and help @entity1 , who would otherwise remain childless, to achieve a family.

Term delivery in a XXXX with severe @entity9957 , treated with growth colony stimulating factor.
