Disorder of neutrophil adhesion

Last edited: 4/15/2026

Overview

Disorder of neutrophil adhesion involves impaired function or expression of adhesion molecules crucial for neutrophil migration and interaction with endothelial cells and extracellular matrix, impacting immune response and inflammatory processes 12.

Diagnosis

  • Identification of defective neutrophil adhesion through functional assays 1.
  • Use of specific monoclonal antibodies targeting adhesion glycoproteins for diagnostic purposes 12.
  • Evaluation of cell aggregation and adhesion to extracellular matrix components like fibronectin 2.
  • Management

  • No specific drug treatments mentioned in the provided abstracts; focus on supportive care and addressing underlying causes 12.
  • Potential adjunctive therapies targeting extracellular matrix interactions may be explored based on underlying pathophysiology 2.
  • Special Populations

  • Limited evidence in abstracts to address specific management in pregnancy, pediatrics, elderly, or comorbidities 12.
  • Key Recommendations

  • Utilize monoclonal antibodies targeting adhesion glycoproteins for diagnostic evaluation of neutrophil adhesion disorders (Evidence: Expert opinion) 12.
  • Consider functional assays assessing neutrophil adhesion to extracellular matrix components in diagnostic workup (Evidence: Expert opinion) 2.
  • Focus on supportive care and managing underlying conditions rather than specific pharmacological interventions for neutrophil adhesion disorders (Evidence: Expert opinion) 12.
