Actual (reported)Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in adults (HLH) is at 68% mortality whereas 78% of all cases remain undiagnosed though therapies are available which clearly reduce mortality. The investigators aim to systematically investigate this life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome in intensive care units (ICU) in order to detect biomarkers that are highly sensitive and highly specific for HLH in ICU compared to patients with sepsis.
