Abstract

Infants with alloimmune neonatal neutropenia (ANN) may be at risk of life-threatening infection. Various modalities of treatment have been attempted but with differing results. We describe a case treated with rHuG-CSF. The use of rHuG-CSF should be considered in children with ANN especially when associated with life-threatening infection.
