Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis case reports illustrates a 44-year-old Caucasian male with ileal Crohn´s disease under combined immunosuppression that first presented with unspecific constitutional symptoms, newly pancytopenia and elevated inflammatory markers. The infectious screening was negative except for an ileal abscess that resolved with conservative antibiotic therapy. Due to concerns for lymphoproliferative disease in a patient under anti-TNF and azathioprine, a myelogram was performed that ruled out dysplastic changes. After abscess resoluti...
