Popis: Hemophagocytic syndrome or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a severe, rare and possibly mis-diagnosed syndrome. It is characterized by an exaggerated inflammatory response due to the activation of macrophages and T lymphocytes, and diagnosis and treatment is needed as soon as possible. We present the case of a 61 year old male patient with a rapid and fatal progression and rarely decribed Ferritin's levels.
