    </History>
    <abstract locale="en_US">At present, a national consensus or guideline for diagnosing and managing patients suspected of having severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is lacking. This consensus is written based on a combination of scientific literature and comments from the expert panel of Iranian immunologists. A group of clinical immunologists reviewed the current consensus, presented their comments at a meeting titled &#x201C;First Meeting on the Diagnosis of Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) by IEI Experts&#x201D; and agreed on this consensus. This consensus guideline provides recommendations on the diagnosis, antimicrobial prophylaxis, management of clinical manifestations, administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for patients with SCN.</abstract>
