NIH Rare Diseases: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but potentially fatal condition in which certain white blood cells (histiocytes and lymphocytes) build up in organs including the skin, spleen, and liver, and destroy other blood cells. This causes fever and damages the liver and spleen, resulting in enlargement of these organs. HLH may be inherited or it may be caused by certain conditions or diseases including infections and immunodeficiency (inability of the body to fight infections). It most commonly affects young infants and children. Treatment includes antibiotics or antiviral medications to treat or prevent infections, and chemotherapy and immunotherapy prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.30
MalaCards: Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, also known as familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, is related to albinism and griscelli syndrome type 2. An important gene associated with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis is UNC13D (unc-13 homolog D (C. elegans)), and among its related pathways are Graft-versus-host disease and Immune response_CD16 signaling in NK cells. The compounds ivig and ionomycin have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include spleen, liver and skin, and related mouse phenotypes are craniofacial and pigmentation. Disease Ontology: A lymphatic system disease that is characterized by an expansion of the monocyte-macrophage population and intense hemophagocytosis. it can occur de novo, but more often occurs in the setting of another disorder, usually an infection or a malignancy. a clinical picture of fever, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy and peripheral pancytopenia. the morphologic hallmark of this syndrome is the phagocytosis of hematopoietic elements by morphologically normal macrophages.6 Genetics Home Reference: Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a disorder in which the immune system produces too many activated immune cells (lymphocytes) called T cells, natural killer cells, B cells, and macrophages (histiocytes). Excessive amounts of immune system proteins called cytokines are also produced. This over-activation of the immune system causes fever and damages the liver and spleen, resulting in enlargement of these organs.17 Wikipedia: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), also known as hemophagocytic syndrome, is an uncommon...44 more...
