Popis: A 43 year-old male presented with a relapsing and progressive systemic inflammatory disorder with central nervous system (CNS) involvement. After a two years follow up, he was diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), based on clinical, laboratory and radiological findings. Treatment was started with anakinra, a recombinant humanised interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist. Clinical response was good. Laboratory and radiological findings showed no disease activity throughout a five years follow-up period. Several immunosuppressive agents have been used in HLH without any good outcomes. This is the first case report of HLH with CNS involvement responsive to chronic treatment with anakinra.
