RESUMEN
La pancitopenia secundaria en niños es una condición aguda comúnmente producida como resultado de la supresión de la médula ósea y raramente es una consecuencia de la activación inapropiada del macrófago con hemofagocitosis en pacientes criticamente enfermos. Se reporta un caso infrecuente de linfohistiocitosis hemafogocítica en un paciente con fiebre persistente, hepatoesplenomegalia, pancitopenia y hemofagocitosis en el aspirado de tuberculosis en cultivo de esputo. El paciente tuvo remisión gradual de los síntomas con evolución favorable al tratamiento
ABSTRACT
Secondary pancitopeny is an acute illness in children commonly produced by bone marrow suppression, rarely is also a manifestation of inappropriate macrophage activation with haemophagocitosis. We report an unfrecuent case of haemophagocitic syndrome that includes the cardinal symptoms of presistent fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia and hemophagocytosis with normal cellularity in bone marrow biopsy. During the etiologic sutdy we obtained a positive culture for mycobacterium tuberculosis. Treatment response was favourable with gradual normalization of the symptoms
