| Core Tip |
This retrospective study analysed all adult patients (n = 80) with Secondary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) diagnosed in our tertiary care hospital during 2010-2018 paying considerable attention on the treatment schedule and the outcome of patients. In our large cohort, infections were the major cause of sHLH (74% of patients) and therefore, they should be thoroughly investigated in such patients. sHLH still carries a remarkable morbidity and mortality as 15% of patients died within the first month. Early recognition and treatment with intravenous γ-immunoglobulin in association with intravenous corticosteroids seem an efficient treatment option for successful outcome in this life-threatening condition (resolution in 76%; 6-mo survival: 82.5%). |
