Abstract:
Cyclic neutropenia is a stem-cell disorder characterized by regular 21-day cyclic fluctuations in the number of neutrophils in the blood and bone marrow. The neutropenic periods may be complicated by fever, stomatitis and severe infections. In this case report only daily continuous and later intermittent treatment with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (two micrograms/kg) administered subcutaneously effectively prevented recurrent infections.
