Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis associated with Behçet"(TM)s syndrome in a female patient with a history of rheumatoid arthritis
Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis can appear as a complication due to immune hyperreactivity in the context of loss of tolerance to own structures as in collagen diseases. The case of a 62-year-old woman with a history of rheumatoid arthritis who meets diagnostic criteria for Behçet"(TM)s disease is presented. After haematological complications and complementary studies, phagocytes with medullary hyperreactivity are documented as a cause of cytopenias, generating the diagnosis of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. With the present case, it is intended to emphasize the association of hematological and inflammatory alterations in patients with autoimmune diseaseMetrics
