Özet

Objective. Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is a hematopoietic growth factor that mainly stimulates the growth, differentiation, and proliferation of cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage. There are only limited numbers of studies about M-CSF levels in neonates, but high levels of serum M-CSF have been reported in septic and some thrombocytopenic adult patients. In this study, we investigated the serum M-CSF levels in healthy, septic, and hypoxic term neonates on the first day of life and examined the relationship of serum M-CSF levels and circulating monocyte and thrombocyte counts in these newborn infants.
