Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 402 young children with primary autoimmune neutropenia to compare clinical features between those with human neutrophil antigen 1 antibodies (HNA-1abs) and those without.
- Researchers used flow cytometry to identify HNA-1abs and categorized the children into positive, borderline, and negative groups based on their antibody levels.
- Children with HNA-1abs had significantly lower neutrophil counts, longer durations of neutropenia, and a higher risk of hospitalization compared to those without the antibodies.
