  • Title: Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in a Newborn Presenting as "Blueberry Muffin Baby".
    Author: Larson KN, Gaitan SR, Stahr BJ, Morrell DS.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2017 May; 34(3):e150-e151. PubMed ID: 28523896.
    Abstract:
    Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome characterized by uncontrolled activation and proliferation of proinflammatory cytokines. Initial presentation commonly includes fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and pancytopenia; 6 to 65% of cases also have a concurrent cutaneous eruption. We present the case of a 6-day-old premature infant boy with congenital severe thrombocytopenia, anemia, and hepatosplenomegaly who presented with several cutaneous violaceous papules and nodules and was found to have HLH.
