RESUMO
Two fatal cases of haemophagocytic syndrome diagnosed on the basis of autopsy findings at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Barbados, are presented. They were both young patients, a male 20 years of age and a female 28 years of age, with common clinical features of severe constitutional symptoms, pharyngeal haemorrhages, pancytopenia, and fever. The female patient had elevated titres to herpes simplex virus indicative of recent infection as well as postmortem evidence of overwhelming mixed bacteria sepsis. In both cases, histopathological studies showed lymphoid depletion and histiocytes displaying haemophagocytosis.
