Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease-TAFRO after COVID-19: A case report.
TAFRO syndrome, a rare disease characterised by thrombocytopaenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis, and organomegaly, is thought to be caused by hypercytokinaemia. It is a heterogeneous clinical entity, and a recent comprehensive international definition defined TAFRO syndrome with lymph node histopathology consistent with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) as iMCD-TAFRO. Herein, we present a rare case of iMCD-TAFRO following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. A 62-year-old Japanese woman, initially diagnosed with COVID-19, developed a persistent fever and fluid retention, prompting the diagnosis of iMCD-TAFRO. Following the initiation of prednisolone and cyclosporine, her symptoms gradually resolved. Therefore, we discuss the potential pathophysiological link between COVID-19 and iMCD-TAFRO, emphasising the role of cytokine storms. This case report highlights the importance of recognising the spectrum of inflammatory states after COVID-19 and differentiating iMCD-TAFRO after COVID-19 from the COVID-19 cytokine storm syndrome.
