Introduction: Macrophage activation syndrome (SAM) results from inappropriate activation of macrophages in the bone marrow and lymphoid organs, responsible for hemaphagocytosis. It is a clinicopathological entity characterized by an excessive and uncontrolled inflammatory response that can be life-threatening. We report the case of macrophage activation syndrome complicating pleuropulmonary tuberculosis. Observation: this is the case of a 36-year-old patient, with antimalarial vaccination against malaria for a trip to the endemic area, who presents himself 4 days after his vaccination, in a table of asthenia and NYHA stage III dyspnea. the clinical examination found a conscious patient GCS 15/15, generally impaired, tachycardia at 125bpm, hypotensive at 85 / 32 mmHg, tachypneic at 36 cpm, with SpO2 at 87% in the open air, biologically: normal normocytic anemia at 8.4 g / dl, thrombocytopenia at 26000 / ul, leukocytosis at 34350 / ul, hyponatraemia at 123 mmol / l, hyperkalaemia at 6.26 mmol / l, uremia: 2.1g / l, cratininemia: 54 mg / l, Hepatic cytolysis with ASAT 3 times normal and ALAT 4 times normal, management consisted in admission to intensive care unit evolution was pejorative within the 24 hours of admission, by the installation of a state of refractory septic shock, The post-mortem myelogram confirmed macrophage activation. Discussion: The incidence of SAM is poorly known and its frequency is underestimated. A rare disease, the diagnosis of which is often delayed, especially in rapidly developing patients. The diagnosis remains an emergency for the care that remains non-consensual. Conclusion: SAM is a rare and poorly described clinical situation but unfortunately a source of wandering and delayed diagnosis. Rare, severe and often unrecognized can compromise life expectancy. The aim of the treatment is to control the macrophage reaction.
