Overview
Neutropenia was first discovered around the start of the 20th century on review of blood cell differentials described in patients with lupus, other autoimmune disorders, and with various drug toxicities. With the advent and growing use of multiple myelosuppresive drugs - namely chemotherapy - the incidence of neutropenia has increased.[1]
