    Summary

    Tuberculosis can cause febrile pancytopenia, a serious blood disorder. Early diagnosis and antibiotic treatment are crucial for survival, as highlighted by two case studies and literature review.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Febrile pancytopenia is a critical condition often requiring prompt diagnosis.
    • Tuberculosis (TB) is a potential, though often overlooked, cause of pancytopenia.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of febrile pancytopenia were successfully treated with antibiotics, resolving clinical and hematological signs.
    • A literature review of 65 similar cases revealed a high mortality rate (54 deaths) due to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

    Findings:

    • Early diagnosis and timely antibiotic therapy for tuberculous pancytopenia significantly improve patient outcomes.
    • Liver biopsy is essential for diagnosing tuberculosis in patients with unexplained fever and pancytopenia.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of unexplained febrile pancytopenia.
    • Emphasizes the need for prompt diagnostic procedures, including liver biopsy, to initiate effective treatment and improve survival rates.
