| Popis: | Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis comes under the category of histiocytosis type II. It can be of two types, namely familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and infection associated hemophagocytic syndrome. The latter is commonly associated with viral infections. Infection with other agents may also cause this syndrome. We report a case of infection associated hemophagocytic syndrome in childhood tuberculosis, a rarity in Indian as well as world literature. |
