| Abstract | Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an uncommon condition that can be fatal due to overwhelming macrophage activation and cytokine production. It can be primary (familial/genetic) or secondary. It is associated with infections, malignancies, and rheumatologic and immunodeficiency disorders. We report a middle-aged female patient with sickle cell anemia who presented with COVID-19 infection that triggered a vaso-occlusive crisis and resulted in HLH. She had preexisting high ferritin levels and cytopenias, making the diagnosis more challenging. A high index of suspicion and timely treatment is essential to prevent adverse outcomes. |
