Case history: Individualized homeopathy and severe chronic idiopathic  
neutropenia (SCN)
Jennifer Poole

Background - Severe chronic neutropenia (SCN) places the sufferer at  
increased risk of bacterial infection, often requiring emergency  
hospital admission and long-term antibiotic treatment.
Method - A single clinical case study of idiopathic SCN in a boy of 3  
years and 8 months at the start of treatment individualized, classical  
homeopathic treatment was given. Neutrophil count was measured at: 5,  
17, 21, 29 and 41 months after commencing treatment.
Results - Low neutrophil count (0.6 and 0.3 × 109/L) was documented  
for 17 months prior to commencing treatment. After 17 months of  
individualized homeopathy, neutrophil count was 1.74, rising to 2.22  
at 21 and 3.4 at 29 months treatment. Forty-one months after  
commencing treatment neutrophil count was 3.8 with an intermediate  
peak of 9 recorded during the year. As the child found the procedure  
distressing, blood testing was then discontinued by the parents.
Conclusions - The child received no other treatment, including  
complementary medicine or antibiotics, while receiving homeopathic  
treatment. Individualized homeopathic intervention may be the catalyst  
for the resolution of idiopathic SCN in this case. However, as this  
was a single case, a controlled study is recommended as a next step.
