Zusammenfassung:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) is a common subtype of HLH with heterogeneous clinical presentations from self-limited to death, of which adults are worse than children. To establish predictors of mortality risk in adult EBV-HLH patients for timely and appropriate treatment. Patients with confirmed EBV-HLH admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were enrolled and statistical analysis of their laboratory test results was performed. Among 246 adult patients with EBV-HLH, the deceased were older (p
