RESUMEN
Se presenta el caso de un hombre joven con ictericia, hiperbilirrubinemia severa y fiebre. La evidencia de esferocitos en sangre periférica y las pruebas de fragilidad osmótica aumentada sugieren el diagnóstico de esferocitosis hereditaria. La hiperbilirrubinemia es producida por hemólisis, la cual resulta de un proceso infeccioso. Una vez hecho el diagnóstico, la respuesta al tratamiento es favorable.A case of a young man with jaundice, severe hyperbilirubinemia and fever is presented.
