Abstract
In this case, we report a patient with Epstein-Barr virus-associated
hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, mainly manifesting as fever, no
liver function damage or HLH related gene mutation. After treated with
cortisol and intravenous immunoglobulin, the fever got controlled and
most aboratory examinations returned to normal. It suggests that we
should attach importance to individualized stratified treatment in
clinical practice, avoid overtreatment, and reduce the toxic and side
effects of drugs.
