| Core Tip |
Herein we report a case of acute liver failure (ALF) and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) induced by varicella infection, successfully rescued by a combination therapy of acyclovir and immunosuppression with dexamethasone and etoposide. Accumulating evidence pointed towards a similar immune dysregulation pattern in ALF and HLH. Given the rarity, high mortality, and complexity of HLH in the context of ALF, it is important to maintain a high suspicion for HLH in ALF with or without an identified trigger. Patients might benefit from therapies targeted to halt any underlying trigger and control the overactive immune system. |
