← Back to guidelinesClinical Presentation: Persistent fever, recurrent infections, and signs of systemic inflammation 1.
Laboratory Tests: Complete blood count (CBC) showing low absolute neutrophil count (ANC), bone marrow biopsy revealing dysgranulopoiesis 1.
Grading: Based on ANC levels; typically defined as ANC <1.5 x 10^9/L (mild), <0.5 x 10^9/L (moderate), <0.1 x 10^9/L (severe) 1. First-Line Treatments:
- Antibiotics: Prophylactic or therapeutic, depending on infection risk 1.
- Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF): Filgrastim or lenograstim to stimulate neutrophil production 1.
Adjunctive Treatments:
- Supportive Care: Hydration, fever management, and isolation precautions to prevent infections 1.
- Corticosteroids: In cases with autoimmune etiology or severe inflammation 1.Elderly: Increased vigilance for complications and tailored antibiotic prophylaxis 1.
Comorbidities: Management strategies adjusted based on coexisting conditions, emphasizing infection prevention 1. Initiate G-CSF therapy for patients with severe neutropenia to enhance neutrophil recovery (Evidence: Strong 1).
Implement prophylactic antibiotics in patients with moderate to severe neutropenia to reduce infection risk (Evidence: Moderate 1).
Tailor supportive care measures, including isolation and hydration, based on individual patient risk factors (Evidence: Expert opinion 1).
