Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome is a rare disease described by Beck et al. in 2020. Here we report a case of VEXAS syndrome with progressive worsening of pancytopenia. This patient demonstrated inhibited erythropoiesis along with normal granulopoiesis and megakaryopoiesis in the bone marrow. A diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) was ruled out, while the patient presented with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), a manifestation not previously described in the context of VEXAS syndrome. Therefore, VEXAS syndrome may also present with PRCA-like erythroid hypoplasia, which may aid in the better recognition of this disease.
空泡、E1酶、X连锁、自身炎症性、体细胞(VEXAS)综合征是2020年由贝克等人描述的一种罕见疾病。在此,我们报告一例全血细胞减少进行性加重的VEXAS综合征病例。该患者骨髓中红细胞生成受抑制,而粒细胞生成和巨核细胞生成正常。排除了骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)的诊断,而该患者表现为纯红细胞再生障碍(PRCA),这是VEXAS综合征中以前未描述过的一种表现。因此,VEXAS综合征也可能表现为类似PRCA的红系发育不全,这可能有助于更好地识别这种疾病。
