We observed a case of primary autoimmune neutropenia in a 10-months-old girl affected by a 4 x 6 cm latero-cervical abscess caused by a Staphylococcus aureus infection. The severity of this finding prompted us to start a G-CSF treatment (5 ug/Kg, 3 times-a-week). Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor immediately increased neutrophil count and led to a complete resolution of neutropenia in a 8-months period of time.
