Differential diagnosis of DBA and PS is critical, since those with DBA may respond to treatment with steroids, may undergo remission, or may benefit from hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, patients with PS have a different prognosis, with a very high risk of developing acidosis, metabolic problems, and pancreatic dysfunction, and a shorter life expectancy than those with DBA. Here we present a patient who underwent HSCT for DBA but was subsequently diagnosed with PS after developing some complications.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDiamond-Blackfan AnemiaPearson SyndromeHematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT)Sociedad Argentina de PediatríaArticle119555956134569763WOS:0007041884000322-s2.0-85117616680Q410.5546/aap.2021.eng.e559N/A
