Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis secondary to T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with membranous tonsillitis
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation, which is characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, hyperferritinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypofibrinogenemia, and evidence of hemophagocytosis. Secondary HLH is often seen in adults and categorized based on autoimmune, infections-related, and malignancy-associated etiol...
متن کاملPerforin Gene Analaysis in an Iranian Family with Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
Perforin gene (PRF1) mutations have been reported in 20-30% of patients with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL), an immune disorder of infancy and early childhood. Cytotoxic T and natural killer (NK) cell activities are remarkably reduced or ab-sent in FHL patients. We report the first cases of familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocy-tosis in an Iranian family with two siblings. E...

متن کاملLate‐onset hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis with neurological presentation
Missense mutations in genes involved in familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis can delay the onset of this life-threatening disease. In children and adults, early recognition of aspecific features as neurological symptoms is crucial as urgent treatment is required.
متن کاملHemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis complicating a T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis secundary to a B cell lymphoma has been rarely reported. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of a hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis complicating a T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma treated wit...
متن کاملDeath from Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Syndrome Due to Generalized Hemorrhage
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is the result of excessive cytokine release, leading to over-response by immune cells, such as macrophages and T lymphocytes. Here, we report a lethal case of HLH with a complete clinical course. The patient was a 45-year-old man with fever and chills since two months ago plus splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and pancytopenia. The Anti-HBc IgM was positive, b...
