She presented with intermittent fever since 3 weeks, h/o oral ulcers, difficulty in swallowing, and palpitations. Routine investigations showed anemia, neutropenia, leucopenia, and C-reactive protein elevation. Peripheral smear showed normocytic normochromic anemia with leucopenia. Widal test, RA factor test, immunoglobulin M (Ig M) dengue, Ig M Lepto, antinuclear antibody screen, cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, and perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies tests were negative.
