of dyspnea functional class IV requiring attention
quickly in the critical care area of the hospital
is described.
She had autoimmune hemolytic anemia at the time
of hospital admission, later adding immune thrombocytopenia.
We finally arrived at the diagnosis of peripheral
T-cell lymphoma through bone marrow aspiration
and flow cytometry.
Diagnosis algorithm performed and established
treatment is discussed, taking into account the constraints
represented the critical state of the patient.
