MAS: recognise a concerning trajectory
- Document
- Original educational diagram
- Scope
- No real examination simulated
- Takeaway
- Absence of haemophagocytosis does not exclude MAS; severe disease should not wait for every investigation.
Diagram description
The diagram emphasises the clinical and laboratory trajectory rather than one isolated threshold. It shows no calculated probability or fictitious score.
Reasoning
Absence of haemophagocytosis does not exclude MAS; severe disease should not wait for every investigation.
Clinical comparison
Interpret the findings together and investigate competing explanations when data do not agree.
Pitfalls and limits
This is a conceptual educational aid, not an authentic examination, a complete diagnostic rule or an individual prescription. See the cited sources and full French statement of limitations.
Take-home message
Absence of haemophagocytosis does not exclude MAS; severe disease should not wait for every investigation.
