This case analysis discusses a 73-year-old Chinese man admitted to the ICU with Klebsiella pneumonia-induced HLH, treated successfully with a combination of meropenem and dexamethasone. It is recommended that healthcare teams pay attention to the role of hyperferritinemia in diagnosing HLH and include ferritin in their monitoring protocols in the ICU.
This is a case analysis of a 73-year-old Chinese man admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) with fever and general pain. Based on the patient's initial condition of multi-organ function impairment and increased serum ferritin, and after a series of examinations, the patient was diagnosed with Klebsiella pneumonia-induced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Meropenem and dexamethasone were used in combination to treat the patient, and the results were very successful. In this case report, it is further suggested that Klebsiella pneumoniae is a possible trigger of HLH, and a combination of antibiotics and corticosteroids can be effective in treating HLH. It is also recommended that doctors in the ICU of each department should pay attention to the role of hyperferritinemia in the diagnosis of HLH, and ICU admission teams should include ferritin in their monitoring.
