The authors have observed a family croup of hereditary´ spherocytosis in Koreans. A 40 year old male, and his two sons were proved as hereditary spherocytosis. And splenectomy was performed in one of his sons with good result.
Phil 3.2%, lymphocyte 12.2%, .plasma celll0.1%, reticulum cell 3.7%, erythroid elem- ´t 0.5% and´ megakaryocYtes adequate. Chest film showed soft parenchymal nd peribronchial infiltration with a probable cav´ity at right lower lung field. There was no evi?ence of thy moma. Mycobacterium tuberculosis wa; grown on the culture of sputum for 7 weeks.
He was treated with anti -tuberculous agents, androgens and blood transfusions without benefit.
It couldn´t be concluded whether t e pure red cell aplasia in this case was resulted from antituberculous agents and/or pulmonary tuberculosis, or not. But it might be possible that th pulmonary tuberculosis was incidental and the p re rod cell aplasia was idiopathic in this case.
