Item Cytomegalovirus induced hemophagocytic lymphocytic histiocytosis in two pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(Elsevier, 2017-07-22) Waddell, Benjamin; Belcher, Chris; Willey, Emily; Medicine, School of MedicineHemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare inflammatory condition with tissue destruction due to abnormal immune activation.
