Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare and life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation. It can be triggered by a variety of events that disrupt immune homeostasis, infection being the most common of them. We report a case of a 36-year-old male diagnosed with HLH associated with natural T-cell leukemia. The purpose of this report is to call attention to the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of HLH.Entities:
