Last month's teaching file:
Query: A 7 year old girl presents with splenomegaly and anemia. Workup for hemolytic anemia, storage disorder, malignancy, portal hypertension and bone marrow suppression is negative. What is the cause of her splenomegaly?
Answer: With storage disorder, hemolytic anemia, portal hypertension having been ruled out most common causes have been ruled out. However, this child resides in an area endemic for malaria and hence one should rule out Tropical splenomegaly. Here a malaria IgM & IgG test would be required. In this child malaria IgM was positive. She was treated with chloroquine for 6 weeks following which her splenomegaly regressed. Discuss this case further in the section of "DISCUSSION GROUPS".
