African neutropaenia in Zimbabwe.
The distribution of total and differential leucocyte counts in a sample of Black and White Zimbabwean men living in the same environment was determined. White Zimbabweans had significantly higher total leucocyte counts than Black Zimbabweans and the difference was due to the significantly lower neutrophil counts in the Blacks. It was concluded that genetically determined "African neutropaenia" exists in Zimbabwe.
