Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) is a rare form of Haemophagocytic
Lymphohistiocytosis
(HLH) associated with rheumatologic conditions. It is characterised by haemophagocytosis and cytokine overproduction, resulting from the activation and uncontrolled proliferation of T lymphocytes and macrophages. The patient being reported is an elderly female with
