Abstract
- A 22-year-old woman presented with fever and pancytopenia. One year ago, she was diagnosed as Salmonella group D bacteremia and myelofibrosis associated with SLE at another hospital. She was placed on high dose steroid, however, there was no improvement. Two months ago, she was diagnosed as recurrent Salmonella group D bacteremia. After admission to our hospital, she was placed on intravenous antibiotics and high dose intravenous immunoglobulin. A significant improvement in laboratory and clinical condition occurred and bone marrow biopsy showed complete resolution of fibrosis. We report a case of SLE with myelofibrosis and recurrent Salmonella group D bacteremia.
