Alloimmunization of a mother against granulocytes causing alloimmune neonatal neutropenia (ANN) in her newborn was found likely to be attributed to previous intradermal injections of paternal lymphocytes. Immunotherapy with leukocytes which was performed for recurrent spontaneous abortions hence provides the possibility of granulocyte alloimmunization and increases the risk of the occurrence of ANN.
