Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is characterized by the activation of histiocytes with prominent hemophagocytosis in bone marrow and other reticuloendothelial systems. It has two forms: primary and secondary. The precise pathogenesis of HPS is unclear but a dysregulation of macrophage-lymphocyte inter...

| Summary: | Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is characterized by the activation of histiocytes with prominent hemophagocytosis in bone marrow and other reticuloendothelial systems. It has two forms: primary and secondary. The precise pathogenesis of HPS is unclear but a dysregulation of macrophage-lymphocyte interactions with subsequent increases in the levels of both T-cell-derived and macrophage-derived cytokines has been suggested. Cardinal symptoms of HPS are prolonged high fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, lymphadenopathy and neurological symptoms. In this report, we present a case Systemic Lupus Erythematosus associated with HPS and acute pancreatitis. |
