Abstract
A case history is presented concerning a 59-year-old female patient wi th chronic autoimmune neutropenia complicated by recurrent skin infect ions, mucositis, and conjunctivitis. For subjective reasons she refuse d treatment with prednisone, but eventually cyclosporine led to an imp ortant clinical improvement and an increase of the peripheral granuloc yte count. Treatment modalities of autoimmune neutropenia are briefly discussed.
