Abstract

Peripheral lymphocyte subsets may be less time-consuming and are a prognostic tool for managing thrombocytopenia, anasarca, myelofibrosis, renal dysfunction, and organomegaly (TAFRO) syndrome. Here, we report a superelderly case of plasma cell type TAFRO syndrome treated effectively using corticosteroid hormones.

Keywords: Corticosteroid therapy; TAFRO syndrome; flow cytometry; superelderly patient.
