dc.description.abstract | We report two patients who presented with a long-lasting febrile illness associated with pancytopenia. Both of them had evidence of hypercellular marrow with haemophagocytosis. They were confirmed as having rickettsial infections by serology and had a rapid haematological recovery with anti-rickettsial antibiotics. We highlight the importance of considering rickettsial infections in patients with such clinical presentations, especially in areas where these infections are endemic or re-emerging. Empirical use of anti-rickettsial antibiotics in such situations could be beneficial, when facilities to diagnose rickettsial diseases are not readily available. | - |
