Abstract
Schwachman-Diamond syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disease characterized by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, bone marrow dysfunction, skeletal disorders and low stature. We report an 8 year-old patient who was admitted to Prof. A. Posadas Hospital Hematology Pediatric department because of neutropenia.
