A 15-month-old girl with fever and pancytopenia.

Abstract
A 15 month-old girl was admitted after a couple of months' history of illness with remittent fever, increasing pallor and a swollen abdomen. On admission she was highly febrile, with palpably enlarged liver and spleen. Blood tests revealed pancytopenia, a high CRP level and a high serum ferritin level. We describe the diagnostic evaluation, interpretation and treatment.
