Article Synopsis
- Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare and severe immune disorder that is hard to diagnose due to its varied causes and symptoms, often requiring intense medical care.
- HLH can either be genetic (HLH syndrome) or acquired (HLH disease), triggered by instances like infections, autoimmune diseases, or cancers; this case study presents the first known instance of HLH caused by tularemia in an older female patient.
- The patient was initially treated for suspected malignancy but switched to antimicrobial therapy after testing positive for tularemia, leading to a lengthy recovery period but ultimately highlighting the need for quick identification of triggering infections for more effective HLH treatment.
