ABSTRACT
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been associated with multiple inflammatory symptoms involving several organ systems, including hematologic manifestations. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening syndrome caused by excessive inflammation in the absence of immune regulation. We present the case of a patient with HLH secondary to dysregulated inflammatory response following COVID-19; we also describe the diagnostic and management challenges associated with the condition.
