8-65 Parents who were distantly related to each other brought their 11-week-old infant Kristen to the emergency room after she had a seizure accompanied by a persistently high fever and running nose. Her liver and spleen were palpable (hepatosplenomegaly). Laboratory tests revealed abnormally high levels of lymphocytes, and of the cytokines IFNγ, TNF-α, and IL-6.
