Review Series on Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)

 In this episode, Blood deputy editor Dr. Helen Heslop interviews contributing  authors from the Blood review series on hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Drs. Nancy Berliner and Joanne Hsu join to provide insight on their paper, “Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in adults” discussing the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment in this high-mortality disorder, and highlight emerging agents designed to modulate disease progression. Drs. Carl Allen and Bethany Verkamp reimagine diagnostic criteria through a threshold model in “Pediatric hemophagocytic lyphohistiocytosis: current conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment”, in order to provide individualized therapies with the goal of addressing the combined influence of genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers.
