Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and primary immune deficiency disorders

Faitelson, Yoram, Grunebaum, Eyal·2014·Clinical Immunology

Abstract

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is characterized by uncontrolled immune activation and is traditionally associated with inherited gene defects or acquired causes. In addition to abnormalities in cytotoxic granules and lysosomes, various primary immune deficiency disorders (PID) have been identified among patients suffering from HLH. Our purpose was twofold: to better characterize and detail the association between PID and HLH. We found that HLH occurs infrequently among patients with PID, particularly those suffering from abnormalities that impair T cell function. The prognosis of patients suffering from PID and HLH is poor, emphasizing the need for rapid clinical and genetic diagnosis of the PID as well as initiation of appropriate management of the HLH, including allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations. The association of HLH and PID implicates abnormal T cell function as an important factor in HLH development. It also suggests that the partition of HLH into genetic versus acquired forms might be misleading.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
