Abstract

We report the case of a ten-year-old girl with a fever, thrombocytopenia, leucocytopenia and pathological liver enzymes. We summarise a stepwise approach to this fairly common condition and the main options for the differential diagnosis. This girl was diagnosed with sixth disease, which is rather unusual for her age

Key words: child, fever, leucocytopenia, thrombocytopenia
