Abstract:
|
A 38-year-old Senegalese man with no previous medical history and living in Spain since 2004 was admitted due to fever, hypotension and edemas. The patient had not traveled to malaria endemic areas for the last 2 years, and 43 days before this episode he underwent an elective splenectomy in order to rule out a hematologic neoplasm due to a 27-cm splenomegaly and pancytopenia. |
