Abstract:
We describe a patient with recurrence of Hodgkin's disease and severe liver disease of unknown origin in whom autoimmune neutropenia developed. Because of possible seronegative viral hepatitis he was treated with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin instead of steroids. He responded with a prompt but transitory increase of the neutrophil count and recovered completely after chemotherapy.
