Abstract

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is clinically characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia, and coagulopathy and is histologically characterized by excessive proliferation and activation of histiocytes or macrophages. It occurs with systemic infections, immunodeficiency, and underlying malignancies. Brucellosis is one of the rare causes of hemophagocytosis. Here, we report the case of a 15-year-old male with pancytopenia due to hemophagocytosis during the course of brucellosis that responded favorably to therapy. Although rare, concomitant coronavirus infection and hemophagocytosis should be considered as a possible cause of pancytopenia in patients with brucellosis, particularly in regions where brucellosis is frequently encountered.

Özet

Hemofagositik lenfohistiositoz klinik olarak ateş, karaciğer ve dalak boyutlarında artış, pansitopeni ve pıhtılaşma bozuklukları; histolojik olarak da histiyosit ya da makrofajların artmış proliferasyon ve aktivasyonları ile karakterizedir. Sistemik enfeksiyonlar, immun yetmezlikler ve altta yatan malignitelerle birlikte olabilir. Brusella enfeksiyonları, hemofagositozun nadir nedenlerinden biridir. Brusellozun sık görüldüğü ülkelerde pansitopenisi olan hastalarda hemofagositozu hatırlatmak amacı ile enfeksiyon seyri sırasında hemofagositoza bağlı pansitopenisi olan, eşzamanlı coronavirüs tespit edilen, uygun tedavi sonrası iyileşen 15 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunulmaktadır.
