Kostmann Syndrome is an uncommon disorder, which is characterized by recurring infections,
begining soon after birth, arid by abscence of granulocyte in the peripheral blood.
The authors experienced a case of Kostmann Syndrome in a 5 months old boy who had suffered
from recurrent infection since 7 days of age. We diagnosed this case by history, physical examina-
tions, culture of bone marrow stem cell and other lab. findings. Bone marrow study in this study
disclosed morphologic details of Kostmann Syndrome.
