Abstract 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.
