    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Hematology
    • Immunology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Context:

    • Childhood neutropenia presents uniformly with infections, but underlying causes are varied.
    • Pathophysiological mechanisms of neutropenia are not fully understood.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of pediatric neutropenia.

    Purpose:

    • To review the diverse etiologies of neutropenia in children.
    • To describe the clinical features and management of primary chronic neutropenias.
    • To propose a practical diagnostic strategy for investigating pediatric neutropenia.

    Summary:

    • Neutropenia in children typically manifests as recurrent infections, despite a wide range of potential etiologies.
    • This review classifies neutropenia causes and elaborates on primary chronic forms, including their clinical presentation and treatment.
    • A diagnostic approach is suggested to aid clinicians in evaluating children with neutropenia.

    Impact:

    • Provides a structured classification of neutropenia etiologies for clinical utility.
    • Offers detailed insights into primary chronic neutropenias, aiding in diagnosis and management.
    • Facilitates a practical diagnostic pathway for pediatric neutropenia, improving patient care.
