Abstract

Neutropenia is known to result from decreased production, ineffective granulopoiesis, shift of circulating polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) into the vascular endothelium or tissue pools, or increased peripheral destruction. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic idiopathic inflfl ammatory disease that predominantly affects the joints. The article presents a clinical case of a patient 13 month old. The condition was evaluated as JIA, and glucocorticosteroid therapy was with high doses of intra venous. There was no exacerbation of the disease.
