...Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis or macrophage activation syndrome (HLH/MAS) overlaps substantially with CRS, as illustrated by ferritin elevations seen in many CAR T cell recipients during CRS [2,12,20,22,27]....

...In addition, rapid clinical stabilization is frequently seen with use of the IL-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab, strongly implicating cytokines, especially IL-6 [8,20-22], in the pathophysiology of the syndrome....

...In addition, refractory HLH/MAS has been described only in rare cases of immune effector cellassociated CRS [2,28], whereas in the vast majority of patients, the symptoms (and characteristic elevated cytokines) suggestive of HLH/MAS resolve with CRS resolution [22]....

...Although prospective clinical trials evaluating the timing of intervention are lacking, retrospective analyses suggest that this is not the case, at least when such therapies are implemented after CRS is well under way [2,21]....
