Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) is a rare life-threatening disorder among the hemophagocitic syndromes, usually triggered by rheumatologic diseases, malignancies and infections, especially Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) Cytomegalovirus (CMV). It consists in deregulated macrophage activation, causing cytokines storm, hemophagocistosis multiple organ dysfunctions, mimicking different conditions, such as sepsis. Treatment should be started suspicion, given high mortality ratio. The authors...

Infectious complications are responsible for about 25% of deaths in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE). In 1998, Petri and contributors estimated that 50% the SLE will develop at least one episode severe infection during disease follow-up. Even though risk atypical infections is increased by chronic immunosuppression, most frequent observed similar to general population. The objective present study analyze a group hospitalized tertiary hospital.
