Abstract EN
TAFRO syndrome is a distinct idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease characterized by the association of thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis, and organomegaly.
We report the first case occurring in a Caucasian pregnant woman.
At 34 weeks of gestation, our patient presented with all clinical and biological symptoms compatible with a TAFRO syndrome.
Tough quick cesarean section was performed as symptoms got worse with onset of multiorgan failure requiring mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress, continuous renal replacement, and vasopressors.
Nine days after ICU admission, steroid boluses were started and allowed spectacular clinical and biological improvement.
As systemic inflammatory manifestations are important, TAFRO syndrome can be mistaken with severe autoimmune diseases, systemic infections, hematological malignancies, or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
