This report describes a pediatric case of isolated agranulocytosis occurring months after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Secondary cytopenia, or secondary transplant failure, affects 10%-25% of HSCT recipients, with potential triggers including viral infection, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), sepsis, and certain medications. Viral reactivation was ruled out based on negative PCR results, while GVHD and sepsis were ruled out based on the patient's clinical presentation.
