Hemophagocytic syndrome, also known as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, is a rare condition often associated with viral infections.

Clinical

Features:[1]

Involved organs:

Classification

Classified by etiology:[2]

  1. Primary, i.e. inherited:[3]
    • Etiology: dysfunction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes with macrophage activating cytokines.
    • Autosomal recessive.
    • Two genes identified:
  2. Secondary:
    • Infection, e.g. EBV (most common infectious etiology[6]),[7] HIV.
    • Malignancy.
    • Rheumatologic condition.

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Macrophages with phagocytosed:

DDx:

  • Overlapping cells (red blood cells overlapping macrophages).
  • Emperipolesis in the context of other pathology.
