A rare and invariably fatalcondition, characterized by progressive erythropenia with or without depression of the circulating granulocytes and platelets despite a highly reactive marrow, has previously been described in adults. The liver, spleen and lymph nodes are enlarged, general intoxication is profound, and there may be a relapsing fever. The course seldom exceeds a few months, and terminally jaundice and purpura may appear. Such cases have been recorded by Scott and Robb-Smith (1939), Anderson (1944) and Asher (1946).We have no desire to complicate further the nomenclature of the reticulo-endothelial system, but we do feel that the name histiocytic medullary reticulosis suggested for this condition by Robb-Smith (1938), although aptly describing the cellular lesion in the lymph nodes, is less appropriate than haemophagocytic reticulosis when the whole disease process is considered. The latter not only indicates the system involved, but also the abnormal process and thus gives a lead to the clinical course the disease may pursue, whereas the names of other reticuloses are often eponymous or purely histological.
