Abstract

Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but potentially fatal disease of normal but overactive histiocytes and lymphocytes that commonly appears in infancy, although it has been seen in all age groups. The disease may be inherited or acquired due to infections, collagen vascular diseases and malignancies.
