ABSTRACT

We present a case of a 4.5-month-old boy from Turkey with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) associated with H1N1 virus and Leishmania spp. coinfection. Because visceral leishmaniasis can mimic hematologic disorders like HLH, it is important to rule out this clinical condition before starting immunosuppressive therapy. In our case, treatment with liposomal amphotericin B resulted in a dramatic resolution of clinical and laboratory abnormalities.


É relatado um caso de um menino de 4,5 meses de idade, da Turquia, com linfohistiocitose hemofagocítica (HLH) associado à coinfecção com o vírus H1N1 e leishmaniose visceral. Como a leishmaniose visceral pode imitar doenças hematológicas como HLH, é importante afastar essa condição clínica antes de iniciar a terapia imunossupressora. No caso relatado, o tratamento com anfotericina B lipossomal resultou em uma resolução dramática das anomalias clínicas e laboratoriais.
