摘要
We report the first known case of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) secondary to imported Plasmodium ovale wallikeri infection in a 58-year-old white woman. A delayed diagnosis of malaria and HLH was made after protracted fever and pancytopenia failed to respond adequately to antimalarial treatment, which required intravenous methylprednisolone and gamma-globulin therapy to resolve.
