62-Year-Old Man With Encephalopathy and Fatigue After Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant

A 62-year-old man with acute myeloid leukemia, evolved from myelodysplastic syndrome after allogeneic bone marrow transplant, was admitted to the hospital because of worsening fatigue and altered level of consciousness. On arrival at the hospital, the patient was markedly fatigued and had signs of encephalopathy. He reported no fevers, chills, or diaphoresis but noted new urinary incontinence and nausea. His medical history was notable for a matched unrelated donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT), performed 35 days previously, as well as hypertension and peripheral vascular disease.
