ABSTRACT
Anti-interferon-γ monoclonal antibody emapalumab and JAK1/2 inhibitors ruxolitinib have been widely reported for the treatment of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) recently. These targeted drugs have fewer side effects and may provide new options for patients with HLH who are refractory to previous treatment or intolerant to chemotherapy. Herein, we reported a case of Epstein-Barr virus-related HLH, which did not respond well to HLH-94 plus ruxolitinib and developed severe fungal infection. The disease was successfully controlled after a combination therapy of emapalumab, ruxolitinib, and dexamethasone.
