Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS), or Haemophagocytosis Syndrome, is a clinical-biological entity characterized by the proliferation and non-specific activation of macrophages of the reticulo-histiocytic system, with phagocytosis of the blood elements formed.

And we underline the interest of an urgent diagnosis and a fast care because risk of evolution towards a fatal multivisceral failure.
