Adult hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rapidly progressive hyperinflammatory syndrome that often presents with nonspecific features, making early diagnosis challenging. In this introductory episode, expert faculty explain the underlying immunobiology of adult HLH, distinguish primary from secondary disease, and explore why HLH should be viewed as a syndrome rather than a single disease entity. The discussion establishes the clinical framework needed to recognize patients at risk and prepares learners for the practical diagnostic and management strategies covered throughout the series.
