Comparison of the clinical characteristics of TAFRO syndrome and idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease in general internal medicine: a 6‐year retrospective study
Although thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis and organomegaly (TAFRO) syndrome was first described as a variant of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (CD), patients with TAFRO syndrome demonstrate more aggressive clinical features. Because these patients may present with fever of unknown origin, general physicians need to recognise its characteristic laboratory data and clinical features during hospitalisation.
