Summary

A 21 year old male has been followed for 2 years with periodic neutropenia and no evidence of underlying disease. Lymphocytosis and hypergammaglobulinemia suggested the possibility of a humoral marrow depressant. But, no such factor could be identified in a limited crude experiment. Furthermore, our patient did not improve after splenectomy or therapy with testosterone or corticosteroids.

Zusammenfassung

Bei einem 21jährigen Patienten wurde 2 Jahre lang eine periodische Neutropenie beobachtet ohne Zeichen einer Primärkrankheit. Lymphozytose und Hypergammaglobulinämie ließen auf die Möglichkeit einer humoralen markdepression schließen. Dieser Verdacht konnte aber nicht bestätigt werden. Weder eine Splenektomie noch die Therapie mit Testosteron oder Kortikoiden brachten eine Besserung.
