Abstract

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in many countries. Infections are the most common causes of morbidity and mortality; lymphoid cell dysfunction and neutropenia associated with chemotherapy are main predisposing conditions for infection. For this reason infectious conditions must be excluded in a case with CLL and fever. Richter’s transformation (RT) is a kind of lymphoma that is a rare condition in CLL cases Fever of unknown origin is a rare finding in Richter’s transformation (RT) but it has been reported as anecdotal reports. Here a case with RT as the cause of fever in a case with CLL was reported and literature was reviewed.

Özet

Kronik lenfositik lösemi (KLL) pek çok ülkede en sık karşılaşılan lösemi grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Enfeksiyonlar bu hastalık grubunda morbidite ve mortalitenin en sık sebebidir ve kemoterapi ile ilişkili lenfoid hücre disfonksiyonu ve nötropeni, enfeksiyonlara yatkınlığın başlıca nedenlerini oluştururlar. Bu neden ile ateşi olan KLL’li olgularda enfeksiyöz durumlar mutlaka dışlanmalıdır. Richter transformasyonu (RT) KLL olgularında nadir görülen bir lenfoma türüdür ve orijini bilinmeyen ateşlerin de nadir sebebini oluşturmaktadır. RT ilişkili orijini bilinmeyen ateş olguları anekdotal raporlar şeklinde bildirilmiştir. Burada KLL tanısı olan ve ateş nedeni olarak RT saptanan bir olgu sunulmuş ve literatür gözden geçirilmiştir.
