Abstract
Introduction: Severe congenital neutropenia is an uncommon disorder.The incidence of severe congenital neutropenia is estimated to be 1 in 200,000 individuals. One subtype of congenital neutropenia, Kostmann syndrome, was originally described as an autosomal-recessive disorder. Autosomal-dominant and sporadic cases have also been reported. We report the case of 2.5-year-old male child who developed recurrent respiratory tract infections and skin infections, with all the other parameters being normal except persistent severe neutropenia.
