My son is 2 and has (or maybe I should say "had")chronic benign neutropenia (was dx when he was 1), and we just found out that he's probably outgrown it (totally normal blood count). It's never affected him, he has only been sick 3 times in his life. If it's any comfort, his doctor can't explain it either. She said that there is so much they don't know about it, but his was likely caused by a virus. Anyway, I'm posting this because when I found out he had it, I wanted info on this and had a hard time finding it. I hope that your children are doing well. Good luck.

: Chantel, EMAIL ME at dechnith@hotmail.com.
: My daughter has Chronic Benign Neutropenia, Cyclic, for now.
: She's had it since 6 months old.
: : My 13 month old son has been neutropenic for at least four months now. He also is not gaining weight and mildy anemic. If anyone has had or knows anyone who has had similar experience I would love to hear about it. The doctors do not know the cause. (Neutropenia is when you have a lower than normal amount of neutrophils, which are the white blood cells that fight bacterial infection.) Thanks, Chantel cfpcfp@hotmail.com
