    Author: Jiwnani S, Karimundackal G, Kulkarni A, Pramesh CS.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2012 Jun; 20(3):341-3. PubMed ID: 22718729.
    Abstract:
    A 68-year-old man underwent a left upper lobectomy for squamous cell lung carcinoma. After 15 days, he was readmitted with fever, dyspnea, and a skin rash. Computed tomography showed a pleural effusion, which was drained. He was diagnosed with hemophagocytic syndrome in view of the fever, skin rash, bicytopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, high lactate dehydrogenase, and raised ferritin levels. His clinical condition deteriorated in spite of steroid therapy, and he died on the 23rd postoperative day.
