Hello! Jonah is 5 1/2. He does have neutropenic episodes, but does not fit

any of the neutropenia profiles. He does not go down low enough for most

doctors to even seem concerned. His low has been 500 so far. Honestly we get

blown off by most doctors because he's had so much testing with no answers.

They just say oh he'll grow out of it. Here we are 4 1/2 years later and

still dealing with it. The one doctor that does listen says he's just got

something they haven't seen before though she doesn't know what it is either

It's very frustrating. I just had never heard of strep on the skin let

alone the anus. What a mess. Thank you!

Hi ,

Does Jonah have neutropenia? We have issues with this and one of the

precautions is avoiding rectal temps because there is such a high risk of

infection there if the child is neutropenic. You didn't say how old he was,

so that might not be a factor, but it might be worth asking the doctor to

check if he's neutropenic if he hasn't already.

good luck! , mom to 3 with CVID, on SubQ weekly http://foxfamilypidd

yes strep can be anywhere. Remember Strep B on the Cervix and the concern for

babies at birth from moms that are active carriers? It is unusual to get it on

the Anus but I think there is probably more of it but it is not cultured to know

what it is. It is probably considered a diaper rash or broken down due to

diarreah or constipation. You may want to consider why the tissue broke down to

start with and treat the underlying cause of the skin breakdown such as the

above. Does he have problems with his bowels??? the infection could have been

any bacteria it is generally where there is a break in the skin integrity.
