Symptoms: Aplastic anaemia, Petechiae
Clinical narrative: A 19 year old male was admitted with progressive petechiae of his extremities and torso. He reported received anthrax vaccine approximately 1 month prior to his admission. He was initially treated with prednisone and IVIG. His platelet count did not improve so a bone marrow biopsy was performed which showed 40% cellularity and markedly decreased megakaryocytes. These findings were consistent with aplastic anemia. He ultimately received an allogeneic bone marrow transplant. Authors hypothesize that an underlying immune predisposition might have enabled the vaccine to trigger the vigorous cytotoxic T lymphocyte response that possibly led to aplastic anemia.
