Reactive hemophagocytosis is characterized by the activation of histiocytes with prominent hemophagocytosis in the reticuloendothelial system, and usually occurs in association with underlying disorders such as viral or bacterial infection and malignancy. We describe 3 cases of adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) who developed hemophagocytosis in bone marrow. Extensive studies could not identify any viral infection or other known underlying disorders for reactive hemophagocytosis except for active AOSD. Although the causative mechanisms of reactive hemophagocytosis in AOSD are not clear, our cases suggest the possibility of AOSD associated hemophagocytosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
