  • Title: Infection-associated hemophagocytic syndrome in a diabetic patient undergoing chronic hemodialysis.
    Author: Wada Y, Sato M, Saito A, Gejyo F.
    Journal: Clin Exp Nephrol; 2003 Jun; 7(2):163-6. PubMed ID: 14586736.
    Abstract:
    Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is an uncommon but severe illness associated with a variety of infections, malignant tumors, and autoimmune diseases. We report a case of infection-associated HPS in a patient receiving chronic hemodialysis. Peptostreptococcus-induced sepsis and abscess formation in the left iliopsoas muscle led to the onset of infection-associated HPS in this patient. The patient had diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease, and it is likely that immunological dysfunctions from these disorders played a part in the onset of both severe bacterial infections and HPS.
