Abstract

In this first multicenter validation study, four fulfilled HLH-2004 criteria and an HScore of 169 were suitable to diagnose secondary HLH, which will lead to rapid diagnosis and improved patient outcomes. Ferritin proved as a reliable HLH screening marker. Our results should be taken into account in clinical recommendations and in designing new studies.
