We experienced a case of adult type Gaucher’s disease in a 2 year 9 month old female.
The patient had hepatosplenomegaly with anemia and characteristic Gaucher cells in bone marrow
aspiration and biopsy of liver and spleen.
Diagnosis was confirmed by demonstration of β-glucosidase enzyme deficiency in circulating
leukocytes.
Partial splenectomy was followed by improvement of anemia and thrombocytopenia. A brief
review of literature was done. |
