DELGADO, Fabiola et al. Pancitopenia in a patient with infection by HIV. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2015, vol.2, n.1, pp.93-96. ISSN 2312-3893. https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2015.02(01)93-096.
This is the case of a young woman who was diagnosed with a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and had stopped the antiretroviral therapy. She was admitted for fever and cough with suspicion of miliary tuberculosis. The patient evolved during her hospitalization to splenomegalic pancytopenia. An investigation started and there was an early diagnosis of hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS). The patients evolved unfavorably and died due to multiple co-morbilities.
