Neonatal neutropoenia is not infrequent. Its appearance can be linked to many serious or minor causes and it is necessary to provide an accurate overview in order to make the best decisions on its management. This paper takes into consideration some possible phenomena causing the appearance of neutropoenia in newborns; some of them are little known either by paediatricians or neonatologists. It also provides guidance for possible differential diagnostic criteria as well as information about the therapy, which today often employs the use of Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF).
