A rare case report reveals neuropsychiatric features in a female patient with acquired hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, suggesting a need for broader awareness.
We present a case of a 30-year-old female patient who presented with fever for 1 month. All the causes of pyrexia and all other possible causes were ruled out before diagnosing hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Although it is common in children, a 2% prevalence rate is suggested in adults according to the literature. HLH was confirmed after bone marrow aspiration showing hemophagocytes.
