printer friendly CONGENITAL NEUTROPENIA home more about us in your area conditions information ... how you can help search this site Congenital Neutropenia: Cyclical Neutropenia: Neutropenia Neutropenia is a rare haematological disorder where affected individuals have below normal numbers of circulating neutrophils which combat bacterial infections. Some individuals have a cyclical form of the condition whereby they are neutropenic for a period of about 3-7 days in a cycle of 21 days. These periods can vary. During periods of neutropenia, affected individuals can suffer from high fevers, lethargy and exhaustion, mouth ulcers and gingivitis as well as being highly susceptible to bacterial infections which can be life-threatening. Prophylactic antibiotics are the firstline treatment. Clinical trials examining the effects of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) in children with severe congenital and cyclical neutropenia have shown the effectiveness of this treatment in a great number of patients. This treatment needs to be supervised in a specialist centre and usually has to be administered daily. Patients receiving this treatment need to undergo regular bloodand bone marrow investigations. Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children has a consultant-led service for children with these problems. Inheritance patterns Sporadic event. Possibly also autosomal recessive

Resources Definition Neutropenia is an abnormally low level of neutrophils in the blood. Neutrophils are white blood cells (WBCs) produced in the bone marrow that ingest bacteria. Neutropenia is sometimes called agranulocytosis or granulocytopenia because neutrophils make up about 60% of WBCs and have granules inside their cell walls. Neutropenia is a serious disorder because it makes the body vulnerable to bacterial and fungal infections. Description The normal level of neutrophils in human blood varies slightly by age and race. Infants have lower counts than older children and adults, and African Americans have lower counts than Caucasians or Asians. The average adult level is 1500 cells/mm of blood. Neutrophil counts (in cells/mm ) are interpreted as follows: greater than 1000. Normal protection against infection. 500-1000. Some increased risk of infection. 200-500. Great risk of severe infection. lower than 200. Risk of overwhelming infection; requires hospital treatment with antibiotics.

Tell us what you want var site="SM2kotaradja" Neutropenia by: Joe Hing kwok Chu Neutrophils are a specific kind of white blood cell that help prevent and fight infections. The presence of abnormally low levels of neutrophils in the circulating blood is referred to as neutropenia, the most serious complication of chemotherapy. It is almost always due to impairment of bone marrow to produce cells and typically occurs 3-7 days following administration of the chemotherapy drugs. The condition of low level of neutrophils continues for several days before recovering to normal levels. It is especially severe in patients who receive aggressive treatments. The patients may have fever and infection or may have no symptom at all even in most sever cases. Patients with mild neutropenia can develop serious problems.

We were told by our pediatrician that it is inherited. I did some reading and found that usually the disorder is present in many family members. Nowhere in either my own or my husband's family can we find evidence of this disorder. I was also told that in some cases it can be a precursor to leukemia. Anything that you can tell me about this disorder would be of great help. Thanks. Robert Steele, M.D.

BNF No. 44 (September 2002) General information and late changes Guidance on prescribing Emergency treatment of poisoning ... Nurse Prescribers' Formulary Drugs used in neutropenia Recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) stimulates the production of neutrophils and may reduce the duration of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and thereby reduce the incidence of associated sepsis; there is as yet no evidence that it improves overall survival. Filgrastim (unglycosylated rhG-CSF) and lenograstim (glycosylated rhG-CSF) have similar effects; both have been used in a variety of clinical settings but they do not have any clear-cut routine indications. In congenital neutropenia filgrastim usually elevates the neutrophil count with appropriate clinical response. Prolonged use may be associated with an increased risk of myeloid malignancy. Molgramostim (recombinant human granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor) stimulates the production of all granulocytes and monocytes. It has more side-effects than granulocyte-colony stimulating factor and is ineffective in congenital neutropenia. Treatment with recombinant human growth factors should only be prescribed by those experienced in their use.
