Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis: A Case Report

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but potentially fatal hyperinflammatory syndrome characterized by excessive immune activation. The condition may be genetic (primary HLH) or secondary to infections, malignancies, or autoimmune diseases. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential to prevent multi-organ failure and mortality. We present a case of HLH diagnosed based on clinical and laboratory criteria, highlighting the diagnostic challenges, treatment approach, and patient outcome.
