Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare blood disorder commonly found in young children. It is not a well understood disease and therefore can be difficult to treat. There are two types of HLH, primary and secondary.
It may also occur in adults. Children usually inherit the disease. In adults, many different conditions, including infections and cancer, can cause HLH. If you have HLH, your body's defense system, called your immune system, does not work normally. Certain white blood cells â histiocytes and lymphocytes â attack your other blood cells. These abnormal blood cells collect in your spleen and liver, causing these organs to enlarge. What causes HLH? HLH is a rare disease, and healthcare providers are still learning about its causes. There are 2 types of HLH: familial and acquired.
