Abstract. Purpose:To report autoimmune neutropenia in an infant with palpebral cellulitis. Case:A 2-year-old male infant was hospitalized for hyperemia and swelling of left eyelid since 3 days before. He was born full term. Findings:Systemic findings were normal except fever of 38.4℃ and pulse rate of 170 per minute. The left eyelid showed hyperemia and swelling. Computed tomography showed normal orbit. He was diagnosed with palpebral cellulitis. White cell count was 2,900/μl with neutrophils at 9.0%. Clinical Course:He was treated by intravenous cefmetazole. On day 6 of disease,neutrophil count decreased to 0%. Bone marrow showed normal findings. Additional loading tests led to the diagnosis of autoimmune neutropenia. Eyelid findings became normal on day 9 followed by uneventful course. Conclusion:This case illustrates that autoimmune neutropenia may be present in infantile cellulitis.
