Abstract
- Hantavirus is known to a causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and it can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare disease in Korea. Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is usually associated with pulmonary hemorrhage and fever. The common hematologic features of this syndrome are elevated hematocrit level, leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia. We report a case of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome with pancytopenia. This patient with severe neutropenia with pulmonary infiltration mimicked aplastic anemia with invasive aspergillosis.
