| dc.description.abstract | Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), also called haemophagocytic syndrome (HPS), is a rare disorder resulting in abnormal proliferation of histiocytes in tissues and organs, including the CNS. HLH can present as a primary disease or occur as a secondary reactive disease. Clinical features are high fever, splenomegaly, cytopenia of two or more cell lines, hypertriglyceridaemia and haemophagocytosis. CNS involvement varies between 10% and 73%, and clinical manifestations include seizures, decreased sensorium, brainstem symptoms, ataxia or demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. | por |
