Neutropenic fever of unknown origin and disseminated granulomatous disease in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
An 18-year-old male was admitted for his second induction chemotherapy treatment for an acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and mercaptopurine. He presented with high fever, abdominal pain, non-bloody diarrhoea, portal hypertension and leukopenia. Stool sample analysis, blood cultures and extensive work-up were negative. The only microbiologic evidence was the presence of cytomegalovirus DNA detected by PCR. A profound hypogammaglobulinemia was documented. Pathology material reported non-caseating granulomas in liver, bone marrow, duodenum and colon with negative cytomegalovirus immunostaining. What is your diagnosis?. Un varón de 18 años se internó para recibir el segundo ciclo de inducción por una leucemia linfoblástica aguda con ciclofosfamida, citarabina y mercaptopurina. Desarrolló fiebre alta, dolor abdominal, diarrea no sanguinolenta, hipertensión portal y leucopenia. El análisis de materia fecal, cultivos de sangre y una evaluación exhaustiva fueron negativas. La única evidencia microbiológica fue la detección de ADN de citomegalovirus en sangre por PCR. También se documentó una hipogamaglobulinemia profunda. El material de patología reportó granulomas no caseificantes en hígado, médula ósea, duodeno y colon con inmunohistoquímica negativa para citomegalovirus. ¿Cuál es su diagnóstico?
