Bowel Perforation During Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Treatment with Corticosteroids and Anakinra

We report the use of anakinra to treat a case of a 64-year-old man diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) with neurological involvement. After the administration of intravenous pulse corticosteroid therapy, immunoglobulin, and anakinra, the patient showed neurological recovery. Howe...
