An infant developed recurrenturinarytractinfections at 9 and 11 months of age. The identified uropathogens were Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis, respectively.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient was referred to our hospital at 5 months of age because of epistaxis and generalized petechiae. Physical examination revealed moderate hepatosplenomegaly.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If it lasts longer than that, or if the child is very ill, then a full workup for neutropenia is in order.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Workup includes a peripheral blood smear analysis for cytology that shows the presence of larger lymphocytes characterized by abundant cytoplasm containing azurophilic granules.[connect.springerpub.com]
Viralinclusionbodies were found on urinary cytopathology and tubular cells in the urine as well as in the renal parenchyma on a renal biopsy. However, all viral cultures and serology were negative or normal.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The most effective treatment for primary P-AIN is a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; however, no curative treatment has been reported.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment and Prognosis Symptomatic treatment with antibiotics was sufficient in greater than 90% of the infectious events.[bloodjournal.org]

CONCLUSIONS: Detection of NAIg is useful for the diagnosis, and the observation of changes in NAIg may be helpful one by one for prediction of the prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis The prognosis in primary chronic neutropenia is excellent. The condition usually lasts only 2-3 years before spontaneous resolution, and virtually all patients recover by age 5 years. Spontaneous recovery after 6-24 months is typical.[emedicine.com]
The therapeutic management depends on the etiology. Granulocyte growth factor is the main therapeutic option, raising the question of their long-term utilization safety.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
AIN has a multifactorial etiology ranging from an idiopathic primary phenomenon to secondary disorders associated with established autoimmune diseases.[insights.ovid.com]
Whether autoimmune neutropenia is commonly triggered by similar etiologies is not known. A similar age group is affected, and recovery is expected in both. Some studies have shown an association with parvovirus B19 infection.[emedicine.com]
