조절되지 않는 열과 발진으로 방문한 환자에서 엡스타인-바바이러스 감염으로 유발된 적혈구포식성림프조직구증식증 1례 = A case of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis caused by an Epstein-Barr virus infection, presenting with unremitting fever and rash

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a hyperinflammatory syndrome caused by excessive activation of lymphocytes and macrophages, leading to cytokine storm. Infection-associated HLH is most common, and Epstein-Barr virus is the leading triggers. Quick diagnosis is essential for starting the treatment before irreversible damage. We report a case of 16-year-old boy who presented with unremitted fever, jaundice, and erythematous maculopapular rash all over the body. Investigations showed thrombocytopenia, hyperferritinemia, hypertriglycemia, and the bone marrow biopsy showed hemophagocytosis.
Epstein-Barr virus antibody was positive. He responded to chemotherapy as per the HLH-2004 protocol and supportive treatment, and was discharged without complication on day 17.
