AbstractWe report the case of a 26-year-old patient who was victim of severe head trauma following a trafic road accident. Two days after trauma, she had fever, pancytopenia and multi-organ failure. The haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis syndrome was suspected. This diagnosis was confirmed by biologic findings (elevated serum levels of ferritin and triglycerid) and histological findings (examination of bone marrow smears showing histiocytes phagocytosing blood cells). The evolution was unfavorable despite of corticotherapy and symptomatic measures.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
