Abstract:
We describe a patient with chronic congenital idiopathic neutropenia whose neutropenia resolved on four occasions during chloramphenicol therapy. This is the second report of chloramphenicol-responsive chronic neutropenia. Chloramphenicol, in addition to its antimicrobial action, has immune-modulating activity, which may explain the reversal of neutropenia.
