The patient experienced high-grade fevers, chills, and cough fve d prior to presenting to the outpatient unit. At frst, the patient was suspected to have developed neutropenic fever; however, she was diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic syndr-ome (EB-VAHS) upon fulfilling the diagnostic criteria after bone marrow aspiration. When patients withinflammatory bowel disease treated with immunomo-dulators, such as thiopurine preparations, develop fever, EB-VAHS should be considered in the differential diagnosis.展开更多
