Abstract

Abstract Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) has been associated with infections, hematological malignancies and autoimmune conditions. Malaria has been rarely reported as a cause of HLH, and even rarer in pediatric population. We report a case of 10-year-old female child with fever, hepatospenomegaly, pancytopenia, hyperferritinemia, hypertriglyceridemia and bone marrow hemophagocytosis, favoring the diagnosis of HLH. She required steroid administration for clinical remission.
