Core Tip	In the current case, the bone marrow biopsy showed hemophagocytosis along with positive cultures for Yersinia. The microorganism likely triggered hemophagocytosis. This syndrome, also known as, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, is defined by fever for more than 7 d, cytopenia of two or more cell lines, hemophagocytosis, hepatitis, serum ferritin greater than 500, jaundice, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly. This disorder can be either familial or secondary to a strong immunologic activation. Both have an overwhelming activation of T-cells and macrophages.
