Clinical Value of 18F-FDG PET/CT Scan and Cytokine Profiles in Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy Patients: A Pilot Study

Clinical Value of 18F-FDG PET/CT Scan and Cytokine Profiles in Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy Patients: A Pilot Study

BackgroundSecondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) is a rare but fatal complication in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) patients. The clinical value of radiological manifestations and serum cytokines remain unknown in this systemic crisis. This study aims to investigate the clinical...
