Effect of GCV on Blood Cell Counts in MIIb-tk Mice

Platelets Erythrocytes Leukocytes
Last stage of GCV treatment  91.4 ± 3.7  71.1 ± 13.2  82.2 ± 6.9 
48 h to 4 d into recovery  91.2 ± 4.5  52.4 ± 20 48.3 ± 7.3  
6 to 8 d into recovery  62 ± 9.8 48 ± 1.2  34.6 ± 8.2  
15 to 20 d into recovery 35.7 ± 2.5  21.5 ± 7.7  22 ± 0 
Platelets Erythrocytes Leukocytes

Results represent the percentage decrease in blood cell counts (±SD) after 7 days of GCV administration (0.1 mg/d/g body weight), during the early stage of recovery (48 hours to 4 days after discontinuing GCV), and during the late phase of recovery (6 to 8 days and 15 to 20 days after GCV withdrawal).
