-The actual hemophagocytosis may be viewed as a result of overstimulated macrophages. While blood cells may harbour infectious agents and therefore the infected individual could benefit from the macrophages attacking the blood cells, there is also the possibility that hemophagocytosis benefits the infectious agent. Bacteria in hemophagocytic macrophages could access nutrients from the ingested cells, or hemophagocytic macrophages could reduce bacteria-killing activity by killing the very cells that could attack them.  Yet, other macrophages could still be sufficiently activated to generate additional hemophagocytic macrophages.
