Neutropenia Hereditary Periodic

Hereditary periodic neutropenia (NPH) is a rare hereditary disease characterized by a periodic decrease in the number of neutrophils in the blood. Neutrophils are white blood cells that play an important role in protecting the body from infections.

Symptoms of NPH may include increased vulnerability to infections, fatigue, fever and sore throat. Symptoms may occur intermittently and vary in severity, making diagnosis difficult.

NPH can be caused by mutations in various genes that control neutrophil production. Some forms of NPH are inherited through dominant inheritance, while other forms are inherited through recessive inheritance.

The diagnosis of NPH can be made using a blood test for the presence of neutrophils and genetic tests. Treatment may include medications that stimulate neutrophil production, as well as preventive measures to prevent infections.

NPH is a rare disease and many aspects of the disease are still unknown. However, thanks to modern diagnostic and treatment methods, people suffering from NPH can receive effective help and an improved quality of life.
