A Case of Parvovirus-Related Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in a Patient with HbH Disease

الملخص EN

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is rare and life-threatening medical emergency.

Parvovirus infection is rarely associated with HLH.

We report a case of parvovirus-related HLH in a patient with alpha thalassaemia (HbH disease).

The patient responded well to a course of dexamethasone without the need of etoposide.

Based on our literature search, this is the first case of parvovirus related HLH in a patient with HbH disease in the medical literature.
