Fueling the <scp>FIRES</scp>: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome

Abstract

We describe 3 patients with HLH and FIRES. The co-occurrence of these 2 rare disorders suggests the possibility of a common immune dysregulation phenotype prolonging epileptogenesis. HLH screening in critically ill patients with FIRES may yield a broader understanding of shared inflammatory processes.
