[Reversible pancytopenia and cardiac murmur].
In this clinical-pathological conference the case of a patient with aplastic anemia is presented who recovered after treatment with prednisone and antilymphocyte serum. The patient's clinical course was however complicated by persistent fever and panuveitis. This was followed by acute mitral insufficiency and left ventricular failure, leading to the patient's death.
