Abstract
CME: Acquired Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Abstract. Acquired hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis comprises a heterogenous group of hyperinflammatory immunoreactions often resulting in uncontrolled immune responses, mainly throughout proliferation of cytotoxic T cells and hemophagocytosis by macrophages. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is often underdiagnosed, contributing to its high morbidity and mortality. A systematic diagnostic approach and the use of established diagnostic criteria should lead to an early diagnosis, which is crucial for any therapeutic attempt to achieve a curative state of the disease.
