The coexistence of hemophagocytic syndrome and DRESS syndrome that develops in the course of sepsis in an elderly patient in intensive care unit
Abstract
Sepsis is one of the leading causes of mortality in intensive care units. Its mortality increases,
especially with the high number of comorbidities and immunosuppression. Hemophagocytic syndrome
is an uncontrolled cytokine storm that develops in the course of increased inflammatory conditions
such as sepsis. The clinical picture is very wide; because of nonspecific symptoms. For this reason; to
diagnose hemophagocytic syndrome, it must be kept in mind. Mortality in hemophagocytic syndrome
is especially high in intensive care patients. Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms
syndrome is a rare, infrequent drug reaction. The clinical picture is heterogeneous and symptoms may
be prolonged despite discontinuation of the drug. Overlap of different diagnoses in elderly patients; In
the presence of multiple drug use and chronic diseases, clinical management is difficult and early
initiation of effective treatment can be delayed. In this case report; a 66-year-old male patient who
underwent nephrostomy due to bilateral hydronephrosis and who developed sepsis and HPS in the
follow-up after hospitalization with high fever and complicated with drug reaction with eosinophilia and
systemic symptoms syndrome during treatment is presented.

Yoğun bakımda yatan yaşlı hastada sepsis seyrinde gelişen hemofagositik sendrom ve DRESS sendromu birlikteliği
Abstract
Sepsis, yoğun bakımda mortalitenin önde gelen sebeplerinden birisidir. Sepsis, komorbiditeler ile
immünsupresyon varlığında mortaliteyi geriatrik hastalarda daha da artırmaktadır. Hemofagositik
sendrom, sepsis gibi artmış inflamatuvar durumların seyrinde gelişen kontrolsüz sitokin fırtınasıdır.
Klinik tablo heterojen olduğu için akla gelmedikçe tanı konulması zordur. Bu sendromun mortalitesinin
özellikle yoğun bakım hastasında yüksek olduğu bilinmektedir. DRESS; çok nadir görülen fakat ağır
seyredebilen ilaç reaksiyonudur. Klinik tablo heterojendir ve ilacın kesilmesine rağmen bulgular
uzayabilir. Yaşlı hastalarda farklı tanıların örtüşmesi; çoklu ilaç kullanımı ve kronik hastalıkların da
varlığında klinik yönetimi zorlaştırmakta ve etkin tedavinin erken başlanmasını geciktirmektedir. Bu
olgu sunumunda; bilateral hidronefroz sebebi ile nefrostomi takılan ve ateş yüksekliği sebebiyle ile
servise yatırıldıktan sonra izlemde sepsis, hemofagositik sendrom gelişen ve tedavi sırasında DRESS
sendromu ile komplike olan 66 yaşında erkek hasta sunulmuştur.
