RESUMEN
Síndrome hemofagocítico (SH) es un cuadro sistémico severo usualmente fatal, reportado como causa secundariaen adultos. Histoplasmosis ha sido descrita como una de las causas, siempre en pacientes con inmunosupresión. Sepresenta el caso de un paciente varón natural de Huánuco con historia de tos y expectoración de dos meses e infiltradopulmonar intersticial y parenquimal basal derecho con adenopatía mediastinal. Ingresó con fiebre, pancitopenia,alteración de pruebas hepáticas y pruebas de coagulación que cumplía criterios de SH. En el aspirado de médulaósea se observaron inclusiones intracitoplasmáticas en los macrófagos compatibles con Histoplasma capsulatum.La serología para HTLV-1 fue positiva por lo que se analiza el rol de este virus como agente inmunosupresor quecondiciona SH secundario a histoplasmosis diseminada.
ABSTRACT
The hemophagocytic syndrome (HS) is a severe systemic illness ultimately fatal associated with underlying conditions. Histoplasmosis has been associated with HS in immunosuppressed patients. We present the case of a male patient from Huanuco with a 2-month history of productive cough and presence of interstitial pulmonary infiltrates, and consolidation in the right lower lobe associated with mediastinal lymphadenopathies on the chest x-ray. The patient presented with fever, pancytopenia and abnormalities in the liver and coagulation tests fulfilling criteria for HS. A bone marrow aspiration showed intracytoplasmic structures within the macrophages compatible with Histoplasma capsulatum. Serology for HTLV-1 was positive. We analyzed the role of HTLV-1 inducing immunosuppression leading to the development of disseminated histoplasmosis and HS.
