Evaluation of nHLH requires rapid testing for a wide range of differential diagnoses. HLH diagnostic criteria such as fever and bicytopenia may not occur as frequently in the neonatal population as in older pediatric populations. Neurologic and hepatic manifestations frequently occur in the neonatal population. Current reports of nHLH suggest a high mortality rate. Future publications containing data on nHLH should improve reporting quality by reporting all clinically relevant data.
