Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an uncommon, diverse and rare genetic hyper-inflammatory syndrome. HLH associated with tuberculosis (TB-HLH) has been described as a clinical and diagnostic quandary. The co-existence leads to significantly higher morbidity and mortality. Our case highlights the presence of disseminated tuberculosis and worsening of the case due to underlying hemophagocytic syndrome leading to rapid deterioration of patient prognosis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment remains help to improve patient management.
