We present a very rare case of pure erythroid leukemia arising in a young patient with sickle cell disease being treated with hydroxyurea for almost 5 years. Diagnosing and managing this rare condition has been a challenge and the majority of patients with pure erythroid leukemia have a very poor prognosis with survival in months despite treatment. This form of leukemia could be therapy related and in our case, hydroxyurea may have been responsible for the development of this aggressive condition.
我们报告了一例非常罕见的纯红细胞白血病病例,该病例发生在一名患有镰状细胞病的年轻患者身上,该患者接受羟基脲治疗近5年。诊断和处理这种罕见疾病具有挑战性,大多数纯红细胞白血病患者预后很差,尽管接受治疗,生存期也只有数月。这种白血病形式可能与治疗相关,在我们的病例中,羟基脲可能是导致这种侵袭性疾病发生的原因。
