Overview
Neutropenia is diagnosed on a complete blood count differential and the severity is classified based on neutrophil count. Neutropenia is diagnosed when the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is less than 1500 cells/µL.
Differential Diagnosis
Neutropenia is a laboratory diagnosis based off of the complete blood count differential, however the differential diagnosis for the etiology of neutropenia is quite important in diagnosing and treating these patients.
Consider the following broad differential when evaluating a patient with neutropenia:
- Congenital neutropenia: rare, inherited mutations in the genes ELA2 or HAX1.[1]
- Cyclic neutropenia: 3 week cycles of neutropenia due to changing rates of neutrophil production by the bone marrow. Also the result of hereditary ELA2 mutations.[2]
- Idiopathic neutropenia
- Myelokathexis: rare, inherited mutations in CXCR4 result in warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, and recurrent infections.[3]
- Autoimmune neutropenia: antibody-mediated neutrophil destruction.
- Drug-induced neutropenia: 75% of all cases of agranulocytosis in the United States.
