| Abstract |
|
Virus associated hemophagocytic syndrome is a rare hemophagocytic disorder, apparently associated with
active viral infection, apparently associated with active viral infection, in which reactive
histiocytes proliferate in the reticuloendothelial system, mainly bone marrow and medullary portions
of lymph nodes, as a non-malignant, reversible but potentially constitutional symptoms with high
fever and hepatosplenomegaly and by laboratory findings of pancytopenia, hemophagocytosis,
abnormal liver function and coagulopathy.
Inappropriate immunosuppressive or cytotoxic therapy of the hemophagocytic syndrome may
increase the risk of a fatal outcome.
The authors experienced and report a case of virus associated hemophagocytic syndrome, who was
estimated 8 months old male infant, with the review of the literatures.
