Pregnancy in patients with cyclic neutropenia.
Cyclic neutropenia is characterized by periodic episodes of neutropenia that are often associated with infectious complications. A patient with cyclic neutropenia experienced two pregnancies with an amelioration of her infectious complications and an increase in neutrophil count. Cyclic neutropenia may follow a benign course during pregnancy.
