Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but potentially fatal entity characterized by an unregulated activation of the immune system. In the adult population, it is most commonly secondary to infectious, autoimmune, or neoplastic diseases. We present a case of a 23-year-old female diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis and hospitalized due to a persistent three-week fever and malaise with a new onset of jaundice and findings compatible with acute hepatitis and hepatosplenomegaly.

Background: Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause more rapid progression to cirrhosis than HCV-monoinfection. In this study, incident HCV case (IHCV)s were investigated in a HIV clinic in Korea.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective HIV cohort was constructed who visited National Medical Center in Korea from 2013 to 2022 and performed ≥ 1 anti-HCV antibody tests (anti-HCV) during the study period.
