Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis or HLH, heard of the concept but never certain when it applies? Unsure of how to diagnose or manage it? 

Listen along as Dr Rohan Mehra (RCP education fellow/Infectious diseases and microbiology SPR) and Dr Alexis Jones (Rhematology consultant, UCLH) discuss a clinical case and provide key points to remember so that you can identify when HLH might be the problem, who to call and what to do to tackle this potentially devastating condition.
