First described in 1956,[1] Kostmann syndrome, also called congenital neutropenia, is characterized as "is characterized by an arrest of the maturation of neutrophil precursors at the promyelocytic stage of differentiation and low levels of mature neutrophils in peripheral blood." It was generally lethal before treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was available, although some individuals were protected with antibiotics.[2]
Differential diagnosis
To be considered are:[3]
- Agammaglobulinemia
- Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease
- Autoimmune neutropenia
- Chronic Benign Neutropenia
- Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome
- Glycogen-Storage Disease Type I
- Methylmalonic Acidemia
- Pearson Syndrome
- Cyclic neutropenia
- Chediak-Higashi syndrome
- Myelokathexis
