Abstract

Abstract: Hemophagocytic syndrome (HLH), which occurs due to over activation and proliferation of the T-cells and macrophages resulting in massive hypercytokinemia, is a life threatening condition accompanied by systemic inflamatory diseases. HLH can develop secondary to malignancy, radical stress, metabolic diseases, immunodeficiency, and collagen tissue disorders as well as viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. A 6-year-old patient had progressive clinical and laboratory impairment during the treatment of community-acquired non-specific pneumonia. The diagnosis of HLH was established based on bone marrow aspiration which revealed macrophages which phagocytosed erythrocytes and leukocytes, and, thus, the treatment was started immediately. This case is reported due to the rarity of HLH developing during the treatment of pneumonia.

Özet

Hemofagositik lenfohistiyositoz (HLH) sistemik inflamatuar bozukluklara eşlik eden, T-lenfosit ve makrofajların aşırı aktivasyon ve proliferasyonu sonucu masif hipersitokinemi ile seyreden hayatı tehdit edici ciddi bir tablodur. HLH; malignite, radikal stres, metabolik hastalıklar, immün yetmezlikler, kollajen doku hastalıklarına bağlı gelişebileceği gibi viral, bakteriyel, paraziter hastalıklar gibi enfeksiyonlara bağlı da gelişebilir. Toplumdan kazanılmış pnömoni tedavisinin dokuzuncu günündeki olgumuza kliniğinde kötüleşme, ilerleyici pansitopeni ve karaciğer fonksiyon testlerinde bozulma saptanınca HLH tanısı konuldu. Yapılan kemik iliği aspirasyonunda eritrosit ve lökositleri fagosite etmiş makrofajların görülmesi üzerine, HLH tanısı konularak hızlı ve etkin bir şekilde tedaviye başlandı. Pnömoni seyrinde ağır bir klinik tabloya yol açan HLH nadir görülen bir durum olması nedeniyle sunulmuştur.
