Abstract
A 3-year-old boy with Wilms' tumor, post operative left nephrectomy stage, had HTS on day 99 of the combined chemotherapy which lasted for more than 20 days. He had severe respiratory distress due to a moderate amount of ascites and marked pleural effusion. Because of high fever, thrombocytopenia and marked hemphagocytosis in the bone marrow, he received IVIG for 2 days. Normal platelet count and markedly decreased pleural fluid were attained within 3 days. He subsequently tolerated full doses of combined chemotherapeutic agents with an additional one (doxorubicin). In cases of HTS, IAHS should be suspected. The bone marrow should be done and treatment accordingly so that there is no need to decrease, the dosage of chemotherapeutic agents afterwards.
