Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) not only increases neutrophil (polymorphonuclear leukocyte, PMNL) production but also modulates PMNL biologic function, To assess the ability of G-CSF administered in vivo to enhance PMNL activity against opportunistic fungal pathogens, the antifungal activity of PMNL obtained from normal human volunteers before and after G-CSF administration was compared. In vivo, G-CSF significantly enhanced PMNL-mediated killing of Aspergillus fumigatus and Rhizopus arrhizus by 4-fold and 15-fold, respectively (P
