Popis: Introduction Adenoviral infection is a classic cause of lymphohistiocytic hemophagocytosis (LH) in bone marrow transplantation but is rare outside this setting. Case report A 31-year-old female, with a history of treated mesencephalic astrocytoma, was hospitalized for fever, pancytopenia, elevated liver enzymes, hyperferritinemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Adenovirus viral load in blood was 7.3 × 10 9 copies/mL. Bone marrow aspirate examination confirmed LH. The patient recovered without specific LH or adenovirus-directed treatment. Conclusion Adenovirus-related LH, common in bone marrow transplant recipients, should also be considered in patients with chemotherapy in solid tumors.
