Abstract:
We describe a case of typhlitis with onset before diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia or initiation of chemotherapy. Typhlitis is usually seen as a complication of chemotherapy for hematologic malignancies. It is being reported with increasing frequency in association with other disease states that produce profound neutropenia.
