[Resultados] La búsqueda bibliográfica reveló 17 artículos (22 pacientes). Quince pacientes eran elegibles para el análisis (53,4% niños). La fiebre y la pancitopenia estaban siempre presentes, y las transaminasas y la LDH estaban frecuentemente elevados (46,6%). La detección de S. typhi se realizó mediante hemocultivo, principalmente (64,3%). Todos los pacientes reportados recibieron antibióticos; la dexametasona fue usada como tratamiento inmunomodulador en 2 de los casos.
[Results] The literature search revealed 17 articles (22 patients). Fifteen patients were eligible for data analysis (53.4% children). All patients had fever and pancytopenia. Transaminases and LDH were frequently elevated (46.6%). Salmonella typhi was detected mainly by blood culture (64.3%). All the patients received antibiotics whereas immunomodulation (dexamethasone) was used in two cases.
[Métodos] Descripción del primer caso pediátrico de fiebre tifoidea adquirida en área no endémica complicada con síndrome hemofagocítico y revisión sistemática de la literatura de casos de HLH secundarios a fiebre tifoidea. Descripción de datos epidemiológicos, clínicos y de laboratorio, diagnóstico y manejo.
[Methods] Description of the first pediatric case of typhoid fever acquired in a non-endemic area complicated by sHLH. A systematic literature review of sHLH in the context of TF was performed with extraction of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data.
[Conclusiones] Mantener alto el grado de sospecha de esta condición es necesario, incluso en áreas no endémicas, ya que el uso de tratamiento inmunomodulador junto al tratamiento antimicrobiano puede ser determinante para una evolución clínica favorable.
[Conclusions] A high suspicion index for this condition is needed even in non-endemic areas. The addition of immunmodulation to standard antimicrobial therapy should be considered in selected cases.
[Introduction] Development of secondary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) in the context of typhoid fever (TF) is a very rare but serious complication.
