Clinical narrative: Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis; Anaemia; Elevated transaminases; Hyperferritinaemia; This is a literature report.  A 32-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) and as dose 2, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "Splenomegaly" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: outside imaging unavailable; "hospitalized" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: at an outside hospital. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Past drug history included: Methylprednisolone sodium succinate for Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, reaction(s): "drug ineffective", notes: 1000mg x 2 doses. The following information was reported: HAEMOPHAGOCYTIC LYMPHOHISTIOCYTOSIS (hospitalization, medically significant, life threatening), outcome "recovering"; ANAEMIA (hospitalization, medically significant), outcome "unknown"; TRANSAMINASES INCREASED (hospitalization, medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "Elevated transaminases"; HYPERFERRITINAEMIA (hospitalization, medically significant), outcome "unknown". The event "haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis" required emergency room visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Antinuclear antibody: Negative; Aspergillus test: Negative; Bacterial test: Negative; Biopsy: Negative; Biopsy bone marrow: Negative; Biopsy lymph gland: Negative; BK polyomavirus test: Negative; Blood fibrinogen: 118 mg/dl; 118 mg/dl; Blood iron: 35000 ng/ml; Blood triglycerides: 527 ng/ml; Body temperature: 40 Centigrade; 40.8 Centigrade, notes: Tmax; Brucella test: Negative; Computerised tomogram abdomen: Negative; Computerised tomogram pelvis: Negative; Computerised tomogram thorax: Negative; Cryptococcus test: Negative; Culture: Negative; Cytomegalovirus test: Negative; Ehrlichia test: Negative; Epstein-Barr virus test: Negative; Flow cytometry: Negative; Haemoglobin: 80 g/l; 74 g/l; 68 g/l, notes: nadir; Hepatitis A virus test: Negative; Hepatitis B virus test: Negative; Hepatitis C virus test: Negative; Herpes virus test: Negative; HIV test: Negative; Interleukin level: 14130.2 pg/mL; histoplasmosis: Negative; Negative; Negative; neopterin (normal high range < 2.5): 9.5 ng/ml; Negative; Negative; Negative; Negative, notes: (ANA, anti-Smith Ab, anti dsDNA Ab, C3, C4); Negative; Bartonellosis: Negative; CXCL9: 16347 pg/mL; Negative; Negative; Negative; Negative; Legionella test: Negative; Leptospira test: Negative; Lumbar puncture: Negative, notes: (flow cytometry and cytopathology); Neutrophil count: 8.25, notes: k/uL; Parasite blood test: Negative; Parvovirus B19 test: Negative; Platelet count: 79, notes: k/ul; 64, notes: nadir, k/ul; Rheumatological examination: Negative; SARS-CoV-2 test: Negative; Serum ferritin (15-150): 68212 ng/ml; Transaminases: elevated; West Nile virus test: Negative. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.  No follow-up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained. No further information is expected.; Sender's Comments: Based on the current limited available information, a possible contributory role of the suspect product BNT162B2 to the development of events haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, anaemia, transaminases increased and hyperferritinaemia cannot be excluded.
