The clinical problem of a non-healing fistula in ano in a child affected with poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN) was the stimulus for an innovative study by Parajuli et al. that sheds light on the pathological mechanisms in this disease. Multiparametric analyses of the patient's blood mononuclear cells by cell culture, flow cytometry and multiplex cytokine assay suggested a block of monocyte differentiation. Monocyte transcriptome profiling revealed a signature consistent with the haematological picture and the clinical presentation. Commentary on: Parajuli et al. Defective monocyte plasticity and altered cAMP pathway characterize USB1-mutated poikiloderma with neutropenia Clericuzio type. Br J Haematol 2024;204:683-693.

Background: Poikiloderma with neutropenia is a rare genetic disorder primarily characterized by the presence of poikiloderma and congenital chronic neutropenia. Mutations in the C16orf57 gene, which encodes the USB1 protein, are implicated as the underlying cause of poikiloderma with neutropenia.
Case Presentation: Our patient, an 11-year-old Syrian male child who presented with poikiloderma, palmoplantar keratoderma, pachyonychia, recurrent infections, and neutropenia, is considered to be the first documented case in Syria.

Congenital neutropenia (CoN) is a heterogeneous group of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) characterized by recurrent infections and early onset of neutropenia (NP). This study aimed to investigate the demographic and clinical data of children with CoN and idiopathic neutropenia (IN) in Morocco. We performed a retrospective study of patients with CoN and analyzed the clinical and laboratory findings of patients with CoN and IN diagnosed between 1999 and 2018 in a clinical immunology unit of a large pediatric hospital.

Article Synopsis
- Poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN) is a rare genetic condition resulting from mutations in a specific gene, characterized by skin changes, ongoing low neutrophil levels, and recurrent respiratory infections.
- A case study of a 15-month-old boy revealed symptoms like skin hyperpigmentation, growth issues, and respiratory infections, with notable physical traits such as facial dysmorphism and widespread poikiloderma.
- Laboratory tests indicated mild neutropenia and low immunoglobulin levels, leading to treatment with immunoglobulin replacement and antibiotics, highlighting the importance of monitoring immune function in patients with recurrent infections.
