Abstract
Human cyclic neutropenia is characterized by severe depression of blood neutrophil levels approximately every 21 days. To investigate the mechanism of cyclic neutropenia four patients were studied with daily complete blood counts, serial bone marrow examinations, marrow reserve testing, serum muramidase determinations, DF22P granulocytokinetic studies, and, in one patient, in vivo [3H]TdR labeling. Periodogram analysis of the serial blood counts in the latter patient and visual inspection of multiple cycles in the others revealed periodic fluctuations in the levels of blood neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, reticulocytes, and platelets. Rhythmic changes in the morphologic and radioisotopic studies as well as the marrow reserve tests and muramidase measurements were consonant with a mechanism of periodic failure of marrow production rather than peripheral destruction. Human cyclic neutropenia is analogous to cyclic neutropenia in the grey collie dog and may be viewed as the consequence of cyclic hematopoiesis.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
