Issue Date: | 2009 | Source: | Tijdschrift voor geneeskunde (Gedrukt), 65 , p. 570 -574 | Abstract: | Visceral leishmaniasis and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a case report. The pathogenesis of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) secondary to an infection is based on an excessive, non-malignant proliferation of histiocytes leading to haemophagocytosis. HLH due to visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a rare entity, certainly in non-endemic regio's like Belgium. The diagnosis remains often difficult. We present a case of fatal HLH caused by VL in an immunocompromised patient of 54 years. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/31757 | ISSN: | 0371-683X | DOI: | 10.2142/TVG.65.12.2000564 | Category: | A2 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
