In canine bacterial pneumonia circulating granulocyte counts determine outcome from donor cells.

CONCLUSION: During bacterial pneumonia, circulating counts predict the outcome of transfusing granulocytes. With low but normal counts, transfusing granulocytes does not improve survival and injures the lung, whereas for animals with very low counts, but not absolute neutropenia, granulocyte transfusion improves lung function.
