  • Title: Hemophagocytosis complicating Kawasaki disease.
    Author: al-Eid W, al-Jefri A, Bahabri S, al-Mayouf S.
    Journal: Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 2000 Jun; 17(4):323-9. PubMed ID: 10845231.
    Abstract:
    A 6-year-old boy developed hemophagocytic syndrome during the recurrent course of Kawasaki disease. Despite the appropriate treatment modalities for Kawasaki disease, he developed pancytopenia, marked hepatosplenomegaly, high-grade fever, hyperferritinemia, hypertriglyceremia, and evidence of hemophagocytosis in the liver biopsy. Although the course was stormy, he responded well to a combination therapy of corticosteroids, etoposide VP16, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor G-CSF. The clinical course and the treatment given were compared with the previous reported cases.
