& BULL; PURPOSE: To investigate the presence and type of oc-ular abnormalities in patients with hemophagocytic lym-phohistiocytosis (HLH).& BULL; DESIGN: A retrospective cross-sectional study.& BULL; METHODS: Observational report of ocular findings and their associations with age, sex, underlying disease, and hematologic parameters. HLH was defined according to the 2004 criteria, and the patients were enrolled from March 2013 to December 2021. Analysis began in July 2022 and ended in January 2023. The main outcome measures were ocular abnormalities associated with HLH and their potential risk factors.& BULL; RESULTS: Of 1525 HLH patients, 341 had ocular ex-aminations, and 133 (133 of 341, 39.00%) had ocu-lar abnormalities. Mean age at presentation was 30.21 & PLUSMN; 14.42 years. The multivariate analysis indicated that old age, autoimmune disorders, decreasing red blood cell count, decreasing platelet count, and increasing fibrino-gen level were independent risk factors of ocular involve-ment in HLH patients. The most common presenting oc-ular findings were posterior segment abnormalities (66 patients, 49.62%), including retinal and vitreous hem-orrhage, serous retinal detachment, cytomegalovirus re-tinitis, and optic disc swelling. Other HLH-associated ocular abnormalities included ocular surface infection (conjunctivitis, 34 patients, 25.56%; keratitis, 16 patients, 12.03%), subconjunctival hemorrhage (11 pa-tients, 8.27%), chemosis (5 patients, 3.76%), ante-rior uveitis (11 patients, 8.27%), glucocorticoid-induced glaucoma (5 patients, 3.76%), radiation cataract (1 pa-tient, 0.75%), dacryoadenitis (2 patients, 1.50%), dacry-ocystitis (1 patients, 0.75%), orbital cellulitis (2 patients, 1.50%), orbital pseudotumor (2 patients, 1.50%), and strabismus (2 patients, 1.50%).& BULL; CONCLUSIONS: Eye involvement is not uncommon in HLH. Better awareness among both ophthalmolo-gists and hematologists is necessary for prompt diagno-sis and institution of appropriate management strategies with potential to save sight and life.
