Article Synopsis
- Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a serious and potentially fatal condition that presents with symptoms like fever, low blood cell counts, and spleen enlargement, often triggered by infections, cancers, or autoimmune disorders.
- A 12-year-old girl developed HLH one day after receiving both the SARS-CoV-2 and influenza vaccines, showing clear symptoms like fever and splenomegaly.
- After diagnosing HLH 12 days post-vaccination and ruling out other causes, the patient responded well to treatment with oral prednisolone, highlighting the need for early diagnosis in similar vaccine-associated cases.
