title: [Generalized angitis and recurrent infection associated hemophagocytic syndrome in a girl with XXX syndrome].
abstract: We have encountered a case of a girl with XXX syndrome who had infection associated hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) recurrently. The patient presented hyper-gammaglobulinemia during the clinical course and developed IAHS probably because of infection with Rubella virus and EB virus each as a trigger. Diseases that cause abnormality in X chromosome are said to present immune abnormality such as SLE in many cases. It is possible that the excessive X chromosome in this cases partially concerned with such as an immune abnormality as to cause recurrent IAHS.
