An 8‑week-old infant presented with noticeable pallor. Striking was a muscular hypotonia and pancytopenia without no signs of hemolysis and without abnormalities in the iron status. Genetic analyses revealed a large deletion in the mitochondrial DNA. Thus, the diagnosis of a Pearsonʼs marrow-pancreas syndrome was confirmed. Until the boy’s death at the age of 4 years recurrent infectious episodes and metabolic crises were treated symptomatically. Anemic episodes were treated with transfusions and exocrine pancreas insufficiency with pancreatic extract. There is no causal treatment for Pearsonʼs syndrome.
