Hemophagocytic syndrome has the potential to cause cerebral infarction to some extent.
Hemophagocytic syndrome, also known as “hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis,” is a phenomenon in which tissue cells in the body proliferate and phagocytose blood cells excessively due to a variety of etiological factors such as infections and tumors. It is a disease of immune dysfunction that involves tissues and organs throughout the body and has serious symptoms. Hemophagocytic syndrome can involve the bone marrow system and reduce blood cells.
Therefore, the disease is associated with tumors, and those who have hemophagocytic syndrome caused by tumors can be in a hypercoagulable state, thus potentially leading to cerebral infarction. However, the disease tends to cause a decrease in blood cells and a prolongation of the prothrombinogen time, thus making the development of bleeding disorders more likely compared to cerebral infarction.
Patients with hemophagocytic syndrome, seek prompt medical attention.
