Abstract
in English, French

We describe the case of a 43-years-old female patient admitted in the emergency department for impairment of general condition and dyspnea. This patient is on immunosuppressive medication for Behçet's disease and will develop a lymphoma and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis following Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation. This clinical case introduces a brief literature review about hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).

Nous présentons le cas d’une patiente âgée de 43 ans se présentant aux urgences pour altération de l’état général et pour dyspnée. Cette patiente est sous immunosuppresseurs dans le cadre d’une maladie de Behçet et va développer un lymphome ainsi qu’une lymphohistiocytose hémophagocytaire suite à une réactivation de l’Epstein- Barr Virus (EBV). Ce cas clinique permet de présenter une brève revue de littérature sur la lymphohistiocytose hémophagocytaire (LHH).

Keywords: EBV; Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis; Immunosuppression; Lymphoma.
