A lethal case is presented of disseminated for of histiocytosis of Langerhans cells in 16-month-old girl. In the clinical course predominated high fever, opportunistic infections, cell-mediated and humoral immunity disturbances, and gross hepatocellular damage which made impossible carrying out of the treatment with cytostatics. The advances in immunological investigations in these patients are more widely discussed as well as the use of thymus hormones.
