Journal ArticleDOI

HLH-2004: Diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

TL;DR: HLH‐2004 chemo‐immunotherapy includes etoposide, dexamethasone, cyclosporine A upfront and, in selected patients, intrathecal therapy with methotrexate and corticosteroids, and subsequent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is recommended for patients with familial disease or molecular diagnosis, and patients with severe and persistent, or reactivated, disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contemporary classification of histiocytic disorders

TL;DR: A classification of the histiocytic disorders that primarily affect children is presented in this article, where guidelines for distinguishing the exceedingly rare malignant diseases of histiocytes from large cell lymphomas through the use of a battery of special studies are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemoimmunotherapy for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: long-term results of the HLH-94 treatment protocol.

TL;DR: To conclude, HLH-94 chemoimmunotherapy has considerably improved outcome in HLH, and collaborative efforts are needed to further reduce early mortality, HSCT-related mortality, and neurologic late effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histtocytosis syndromes in children

TL;DR: The available evidence suggests that LCH and familial HLH are the result of faulty interaction between histiocytes and T-cells, causing disregulated cytokine production or recognition, and the development of more exact treatments depends crucially on basic research to identify the exact defect in LCH
