Abstract

The term “hemophagocytosis” describes the pathologic finding of activated macrophages, engulfing erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets and their precursor cells. This phenomenon is an important finding in patients with hemophagocytic syndrome. It is a distinct clinical entity characterized by fever, pancytopenia, splenomegaly and hemophagocytosis in bone marrow, liver and lymph nodes. Hemophagocytic syndrome can be classified according to the underlying etiology into either primary (genetic) or secondary (acquired). Severe infections, malignancies, rheumatologic disorders and some metabolic diseases can lead to secondary hemophagocytic syndrome. Infection-associated hemophagocytic syndrome implicating Leishmania is very rare and often difficult to diagnose. Therefore, we aimed to report a young boy with Visceral Leishmaniasis associated hemophagocytic syndrome.

Özet

Hemofagositoz terimi, aktive makrofajlari, fagosite edilmiş eritrosit, lökosit, trombosit ve onların öncül hücrelerini tarif etmektedir. Bu fenomen, hemofagositik sendromun önemli bir bulgusudur. Hemofagositik sendrom, ateş, pansitopeni, splenomegali ve kemik iliği, karaciğer ile lenf nodunda hemofagositoz ile karakterizedir. Hemofagositik sendrom, altta yatan etyolojiye göre primer (genetik) ve sekonder (kazanılmış) olmak üzere sınıflandırılabilir. Ağır enfeksiyonlar, kanserler, romatolojik hastalıklar ve bazı metabolik hastalıklar sekonder hemofagositik sendroma neden olabilmektedir. Leishmania’ nın neden olduğu enfeksiyon ilişkili hemofagositik sendrom çok nadirdir ve sıklıkla tanıda zorluklara yol açmaktadır. Bundan dolayı Visseral Leishmaniazis ilişkili hemofagotik sendromlu genç bir hasta sunulması amaçlanmıştır.
