abstract：:Neutropenia is often attributed to immunologically mediated injury to mature neutrophils or their precursors. Clinically it is useful to classify immune mediated neutropenias as isoimmune, autoimmune (including some drug-associated neutropenias), and idiopathic (cases possibly with an immune mechanism). Isoimmune neut...
