Abstract
Two cases of chronic neutropenia associated with splenomegaly are reported. The bone marrow in one case was hyperplastic, in the other hypoplastic. In both cases the neutropenia was corrected by splenectomy. The exact mechanism of the production of this syndrome is not known but over-activity of the spleen may be a factor.Keywords
