Abstract

Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a severe, potentially fatal condition associated with excessive activation and expansion of macrophages and T cells (mainly CD8), leading to exaggerated inflammatory response. We describe here a case of MAS causing possibly ATN and review the literature.
