The case of a seven‐month old infant with symptomatic autoimmune corticoresistant neutropenia is reported. Neutropenia was responsive to high‐dose, iv immunoglobulin, and both to iv and im anti‐Rh(D) immunoglobulin. The latter therapy has a high benefit‐cost ratio compared to the standard approach.
