Low neutrophils are associated with elevated monocyte counts. Patients are particularly prone to Clostridium and gram-negative infections. Cyclical neutropenia is sometimes caused by mutations in the gene for the enzyme neutrophil elastase ELANE which impairs the survival of myeloid precursors.
Introduction. Neutropenia in children is common. Normal neutrophil count varies with age and changes rapidly in response to infection. Neutropenia is defined as a neutrophil count of less than 1.5 109/L (Box 1).
