Hemophagocytosis in autoimmune disease.
Reactive hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is known to be associated with various autoimmune diseases, as well as infection and/or malignancy. Here we review the features of autoimmune-associated HPS and describe the possible role of autoantibodies, especially antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), in HPS based on data obtained from our own patients.
