Item Síndrome de activación macrofagocítica en un paciente pediátrico. Reporte de caso(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Arias Eusse, María Camila; Basto Domínguez, Carolina; Montoya Hurtado, Carolina; Arana Domínguez, Johan Daniel (Director)Hemophagocytic syndrome (SHF), also known as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), usually occurs mainly in childhood being a serious disease resulting from a deregulation of the immune system either by infectious causes, neoplastic, genetic, metabolic or rheumatological leading to an exaggerated immune response. This syndrome acts quickly and puts the patient’s life at risk, so the diagnosis must be based on clinical and paraclinical criteria and then HLH-2004 protocol must be initiated. This case report will be important to make this pathology visible since it is uncommon, which occurs in all age groups, but mainly in pediatric age, has an incidence of 1 in 50,000 live births and varies by geographical region (1). We present the case of a minor patient with a diagnosis of Hemophagocytic Syndrome in whom paraclinics and diagnostic images are taken, biopsy and bone marrow aspirate plus study of the Cerebrospinal Fluid.
