Abstract:
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I is an extremely serious and rare form of congenital immunodeficiency with recurrent episodes of infection since neonatal period. It is usually diagnosed in childhood, but if diagnosed early in neonatal period then definitive treatment can be instituted early with promising results. High index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose this condition in neonates. Neonate may present with serious bacterial infections with a leukemoid reaction.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
