The man described in this study had cachexia, high fevers, severe hypoproliferative anemia and acquired PHNA [Pelger-Huet nuclear anomaly]. At autopsy, an overwhelming tuberculosis was discovered in the absence of any other underlying disease. Acquired PHNA may serve as a diagnostic and prognostic indicator in tuberculosis.
