Article Synopsis
- Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare blood disorder causing anemia and thrombosis due to a deficiency of specific membrane proteins, which may lead to severe neutropenia and a risk of neutropenic enterocolitis (NEC).
- A case is presented of a 31-year-old woman who developed fatal NEC after receiving eculizumab treatment for PNH, experiencing symptoms like abdominal pain, fever, and worsening neutropenia.
- Despite intensive treatment efforts, she suffered from septic shock and multiple organ failures, ultimately resulting in brain death, illustrating the critical need for early detection and management in patients at high risk for NEC.
