ABSTRACT

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), is an uncommon hematologic disorder seen more often in children than in adults. It is a life-threatening disease of severe inflammation caused by uncontrolled rapid increase of activated lymphocytes and macrophages, leading to cytokine storm syndromes. There are inherited and non- inherited (acquired) causes of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) (we can omit this line). We report an unusual presentation of HLH and it’s management in a previously healthy gravid lady.

Keywords: Hlh, Cytokine Storm, Etoposide, Steroid, Rituximab.
