{Abstract}: Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome is a rare multisystem mitochondrial disease that is a result of defective oxidative phosphorylation caused by mitochondrial DNA mutations. The average prognosis of infants diagnosed with this disease is death within four years of age. The disease often carries an atypical presentation during the neonatal period causing this rare syndrome to be frequently misdiagnosed. The current report details the diagnosis of Pearson syndrome in a three-month-old male with a history of pancytopenia.
