ABSTRACT
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) can be considered as a severe cytokine storm syndrome disorder. HLH typically manifests as a life-threatening inflammatory syndrome characterized by fevers, cytopenias, hepatosplenomegaly, and various other accompanying manifestations such as coagulopathy, hepatitis or liver failure, seizures or altered mental status, and even multi-organ failure. Standard up-front treatments do not always bring HLH into remission or maintain adequate response, and salvage or alternative therapies are often needed. For patients with genetic diseases that cause HLH, curative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is usually offered to prevent future episodes of life-threatening HLH. Here, we will discuss the options and approaches for salvage therapy and hematopoietic cell transplantation for patients with HLH.
