  • Title: Histoplasmosis-associated hemophagocytic syndrome: a case report.
    Author: Sanchez A, Celaya AK, Victorio A.
    Journal: AIDS Read; 2007 Oct; 17(10):496-9. PubMed ID: 17990371.
    Abstract:
    Hemophagocytic syndrome is a macrophage disorder that may develop as a result of immunological activation, such as that seen in severe infection. It has been described in persons with HIV/AIDS and in those with a variety of HIV-associated opportunistic infections, including those caused by Histoplasma capsulatum. If present, this disorder may portend a poorer prognosis. We describe an HIV-positive person in whom histoplasmosis-associated hemophagocytic syndrome was successfully treated.
