The efficacy of intensive granulocyte and monocyte adsorption apheresis in a patient with Crohn's disease complicated by extensive subcutaneous aseptic neutrophilic abscesses

In this CD case complicated by subcutaneous aseptic neutrophilic abscesses, GMA appeared to be effective. Our impression is that when biopsy reveals neutrophil infiltrate is a major feature of the lesions, GMA should be considered. As GMA appears to have no safety concerns, a frequent GMA protocol, like daily followed by 2 to 3 times/week should be preferred over the routine weekly GMA.
