Abstract
A-35-year-old woman with a long-lasting history of neutropenia and recurrent infections was found to have defective neutrophil chemotaxis, random motility, and in vivo migration. Although the bone marrow granulocyte reserve was normal, the patient failed to release an appropriate amount of granulocytes after injection of etiocholanolone.
