Hypothyroidism is common, with an extreme manifestation of myxedema coma if untreated. Hematologic consequences of myxedema coma include mild leukopenia and anemia, rarely pancytopenia. We present a patient with typical symptoms of myxedema coma, but found to be pancytopenic, with sustained response to levothyroxine and blood transfusion for anemia.
甲状腺功能减退症很常见,如果不治疗会出现黏液性水肿昏迷这一极端表现。黏液性水肿昏迷的血液学后果包括轻度白细胞减少和贫血,很少出现全血细胞减少。我们报告了一名具有黏液性水肿昏迷典型症状的患者,但发现其存在全血细胞减少,对左甲状腺素和针对贫血的输血治疗有持续反应。
