Abstract

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life threatening hyper inflammatory syndrome occurring due to ineffective immune process. It can be genetic (familial form) or secondary (acquired form). We present a case of HLH in a 50 year old male who presented with pancytopenia and huge platelet clumps on peripheral smear which subsequently leads to diagnosis after correlation with clinical, hematological and biochemical findings.
