A case of haemophagocytic syndrome with reactive plasmacytosis in a 16 Years old immuno compromised patient
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Here, we report an uncommon case of haemophagocytic syndrome with reactive plasmacytosis in a 16 years old immuno compromised patient. No single clinical feature alone is diagnostic of HLH and it is important that the entire clinical presentation be considered in making the diagnosis. Early initiation of treatment on clinical suspicion is important for the improvement of survival. Keywords: Haemophagocytosis, Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, Plasmacytosis.
