Abstract

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but potentially fatal condition that is characterized by an overproduction of inflammatory cytokines by the immune system. Progressive illness, septic shock, and death can occur if the disease is not diagnosed and treatment initiated early. The authors describe the presentation, differential diagnosis, and evidence-based interprofessional management of HLH in a 1,200-bed Magnet®-designated institution.
