We reported a case of a 76-year-female with hemophagocytic syndrome caused by miliary tuberculosis. The patients had complained high fever over 38.0°C and anorexia. Her chest X-ray and computed tomography revealed disseminated miliary shadows in both lung fields. Laboratory examinations revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia and liver dysfunction. Bonemarrow aspirate revealed tuberculous granulomas and tubercle bacilli by acid-fast stains, and hemophagocytosis by macrophages. We diagnosed as miliary tuberculosis and tuberculosis-associated hemophagocytic syndrome, and started antituberculous and steroid therapy. After these therapy, fever, laboratory examinations dramatically improved.<BR>In this case, serum IL-18, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 were elevated. These cytokines and adhesion molecules were reported to elevate in both hemophagocytic syndrome and tuberculosis correlating with disease activity. We conclude that IL-18, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 may play important roles in pathogenesis of tuberculosis associated hemophagocytic syndrome.
