Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a congenital or acquired hyperinflammatory syndrome, in some cases accompanied by acute liver failure. We present a case report of acute liver failure associated with HLH after COVID-19 vaccination and bring a literature review of the connection between HLH and COVID-19 vaccination. HLH has significant mortality rate, and liver transplantation is not a therapeutic option. Therefore, early recognition and timely conservative treatment are corner stones in reducing HLH-related morbidity and mortality.
噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症(HLH)是一种先天性或获得性高炎症综合征,在某些情况下伴有急性肝衰竭。我们报告一例新冠病毒疫苗接种后与HLH相关的急性肝衰竭病例,并对HLH与新冠病毒疫苗接种之间的关联进行文献综述。HLH的死亡率很高,肝移植并非治疗选择。因此,早期识别和及时的保守治疗是降低HLH相关发病率和死亡率的基石。
