cyclic neutropenia

Seizures, canine hip dysplasia, microphthalmia, and cyclic neutropenia are also occasionally seen.

In cyclic neutropenia, there is a reduction in the level of circulating neutrophils in the blood that occurs about every 21 days.

Collies may have a genetic disease, canine cyclic neutropenia, or Grey Collie Syndrome.

Canine cyclic neutropenia is a cyclic blood disorder that is usually fatal to affected puppies.

Aphthous-like ulceration also occurs in conditions involving systemic immuno-dysregulation, e.g. cyclic neutropenia and human immunodeficiency virus infection.

Mutations in this gene are associated with cyclic neutropenia and severe congenital neutropenia (SCN).

Cyclic neutropenia is the result of autosomal dominantly inherited mutations in ELA2, the gene encoding neutrophil elastase.

Symptoms associated with cyclic neutropenia may include fever, a general feeling of ill health (malaise), and/or sores (ulcers) of the mucous membranes of the mouth.

The rare disease cyclic hematopoeiesis (also called "cyclic neutropenia") is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterised by fluctuating neutrophil granulocyte counts over 21-day periods.

In cyclic neutropenia, more severe oral ulceration occurs during periods of severe immuno-dysregulation, and resolution of the underlying neutropenia prevents the cycle of ulceration.

Cyclic neutropenia (or cyclical neutropenia) is a form of neutropenia that tends to occur every three weeks and lasting three to six days at a time due to changing rates of cell production by the bone marrow.

Other investigations commonly performed: serial neutrophil counts for suspected cyclic neutropenia, tests for antineutrophil antibodies, autoantibody screen and investigations for systemic lupus erythematosus, vitamin B and folate assays and acidified serum (Ham's) test.

CN Cyclic Hematopoiesis Human Cyclic Neutropenia Periodic Neutropenia None Cyclic neutropenia is a rare blood disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of abnormally low levels of certain white blood cells (neutrophils) in the body.

There is no ideal therapy for neutropenia, but recombinant G-CSF (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) such as filgrastim (Neupogen) can be effective in chemotherapy patients, in patients with congenital forms of neutropenia including severe congenital neutropenia, autosomal recessive Kostmann's syndrome, cyclic neutropenia, and myelokathexis.
