  • Title: Complete recovery of histiocytic medullary reticulosis-like syndrome in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
    Author: Yin JA, Kumaran TO, Marsh GW, Rossiter M, Catovsky D.
    Journal: Cancer; 1983 Jan 15; 51(2):200-2. PubMed ID: 6295595.
    Abstract:
    A 6-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) developed a haemophagocytic syndrome resembling histiocytic medullary reticulosis (HMR) but made a complete recovery on supportive treatment. This was subsequently found to have been associated with a parainfluenzal infection. It is suggested that HMR in immunocompromised hosts may represent a reactive process to an opportunistic viral infection and that the use of chemotherapy in these patients may be deleterious.
