Abstract | RATIONALE: PATIENT CONCERNS: A previously healthy 14-year-old girl presented to the local hospital with a 4-day history of persistent fever and sore throat. DIAGNOSIS: INTERVENTION: This patient was treated with ruxolitinib and the HLH-94 protocol. OUTCOMES: The patient's clinical and some laboratory indices improved. Unfortunately, vital signs such as respiratory function and consciousness did not improve. LESSONS: This case report highlights the effect of using ruxolitinib in conjunction with the HLH-94 protocol. However, safety evaluation of this regimen was not performed because critically ill patient died too fast.
