Summary
Familial lymphohistiocytosis presents with hypertriglyceridemia and deficient plasma lipolytic activity. These biological markers are crucial for diagnosing acute reticulosis in children, suggesting a potential immunological basis.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Immunology
- Biochemistry
Background:
- Familial lymphohistiocytosis (FLH) is a rare, life-threatening condition.
- Patients exhibit hypertriglyceridemia and impaired plasma lipolytic activity.
- Acute reticulosis in children shares some clinical and biological features with FLH.
