In this report we describe an elderly lady, who after 27 days of ticlopidine treatment developed severe pancytopenia and gram (-) septicemia. No clinical response was obtained with an eight days course of empirical broad spectrum antibiotics, after which granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF, filgrastim) added to her regimen. In a period of seven days her neutrophil count was normal and she had recovered from septicemia. Twelve weeks after discharge she is fine and her blood parameters are all normal.
