Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis secondary to infection is rare and almost always occurs in immunocompromised hosts. We report a 32-year-old immunocompetent man presenting with a nonspecific febrile illness found to have disseminated histoplasmosis and associated haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathological examination and PCR of liver and bone marrow biopsies. He was successfully treated with steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin and itraconazole.
继发于感染的噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症罕见,几乎总是发生在免疫功能低下的宿主中。我们报告一例32岁免疫功能正常的男性,表现为非特异性发热性疾病,被发现患有播散性组织胞浆菌病及相关的噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症。通过肝脏和骨髓活检的组织病理学检查及聚合酶链反应确诊。他接受类固醇、静脉注射免疫球蛋白和伊曲康唑治疗后痊愈。
