Topic- Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis: A New Foe by Rohit Vohra in Progressing Aspects in Pediatrics and Neonatology - Lupine Publishers
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an aggressive and
life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation. It commonly
affects infants from birth to 18 months of age, but the disease can be
seen in children and adults of all ages. HLH can occur as a familial or
sporadic disorder, and it can be triggered by a variety of events that
disrupt immune homeostasis. Prompt recognition of the disease and
initiation of treatment is essential for the survival of affected
patients [1].
