Acquired hemophagocytic lymphohistiocitosis (HLH) syndrome can be a complication of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). A multicenter prospective study was conducted to determine the frequency of HLH syndrome in children with VL. Twenty-four children with VL were identified, and 10 (41%) developed HLH syndrome. VL should be ruled out in all children with HLH criteria living in or coming from endemic areas.
获得性噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症(HLH)综合征可能是内脏利什曼病(VL)的一种并发症。开展了一项多中心前瞻性研究,以确定VL患儿中HLH综合征的发生率。共确定了24例VL患儿,其中10例(41%)出现HLH综合征。对于所有符合HLH标准且生活在或来自流行地区的儿童,均应排除VL。
