Both haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and acute necrotizing encephalopathy are life-threatening condition. It presents major diagnostic difficulties, since it may have a diversity in clinical picture and with many conditions leading to the same clinical presentation. So it is key important to understand the disorders.
We report a pediatric case of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis with specific presentation which predominantly featured as acute necrotizing encephalopathy of childhood. We discuss the diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and speculate the etiology of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is due to hypersensitivity.
Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and brain damage in this case may be induced by hypersensitivity, which have good clinical outcome if diagnosed and treated early.
噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症和急性坏死性脑病均为危及生命的病症。其诊断存在重大困难,因为临床表现可能多样,且多种病症可导致相同的临床表现。因此,了解这些病症至关重要。
我们报告一例具有特殊表现的儿童噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症病例,其主要特征为儿童急性坏死性脑病。我们讨论了诊断和鉴别诊断,并推测噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症的病因是超敏反应。
该病例中的噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症和脑损伤可能由超敏反应诱发,若早期诊断并治疗,临床预后良好。
