Abstract

A unique case of adult‐onset synchronous cyclic neutropenia and thrombocytopenia occurring at six‐week intervals is presented. Periods of cytopenia were associated with fever, myalgias, gastrointestinal symptoms, and mild mucocutaneous bleeding. Alternate‐day steroid treatment failed to correct the periodic fluctuations in peripheral blood counts but ameliorated symptoms during cytopenia. The treatment of cyclic hematopoiesis is reviewed.
