  ABSTRACT: A 59-year-old man, who was treated for schizophrenia and psoriasis vulgaris with risperidone and cyclosporine, presented with high fever and myalgia. Those did not respond to treatment for neuroleptic malignant syndrome for two weeks, and multiple organ dysfunction developed, so he was admitted to our hospital, but died two days later. Autopsy detected the hemophagocytosis, Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)-reactivated cells, and the absence of glomerulonephritis and interstitial tubulitis. We considered that hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) and myalgia were caused by reactivated EBV and the viremia under immunosuppression, and renal failure was caused by sepsis-like state by cytokine storm of HPS.
