Abstract EN
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare hyperinflammatory syndrome, characterized clinically by fever, splenomegaly, cytopenia, and high ferritin.
Infectious causes have been associated with secondary HLH, with viruses being the most common.
We report a case of Mycobacterium avium complex-associated HLH in a sickle cell anemia patient.
To the best of our knowledge, this association has never been reported in sickle cell anemia.
