Abstract

Autoimmune neutropenias (AIN) are classically divided into primary AIN and secondary AIN. The latter are associated with autoimmune disorders, hematologic malignancies, primary immune deficiencies, drug exposure or infections. In this review we will focus on the major aetiologies of AIN, their differential diagnosis, the various methods in biological diagnosis, and the treatment.
