Article Abstract

The hemophagocytic syndrome is a serious clinical-histological entity secondary to different diseases. Collapsing glomerulonephritis is a proliferative podocytopathy that usually has an unfavorable renal prognosis. We present a case in which both entities were associated, which is an infrequent form of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. In addition, we review the role of the markers of podocyte dedifferentiation in this glomerulopathy and its pathophysiology and treatment.

Lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (LA-HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome, and hierarchical management based on a prognostic model is important. The endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) score has demonstrated prognostic utility in recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplantation and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. However, its role in LA-HLH remains unestablished.

Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis type 2 (FHL2), caused by perforin 1 (PRF 1), is a rare and fatal autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a hyperinflammatory syndrome and the accumulation of activated T lymphocytes and histiocytes in the reticuloendothelial system. Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is an autoimmune disease that typically presents in children with lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and cytopenias or lymphomas. We report a case of a 9-year-old boy who was newly diagnosed with FHL, carrying a new type of compound heterozygous mutations (c.

Systemic chronic active Epstein-Barr virus disease (sCAEBVD) can primarily involve skeletal muscle to form CAEBV-myopathy (CAEBV-M), which may resemble idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). This study reports an 11-patient, 10-year cohort of CAEBV-M to summarize clinicoseropathologic features. CAEBV-M typically affects young adults (median: 29 years), with universal limb swelling, frequent disseminated muscle involvement (73%), and systemic symptoms like fever (82%), splenomegaly (82%), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (55%).

A 60-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and an impaired consciousness was referred to our hospital. Prior to transfer, the patient underwent intensified immunosuppressive therapy under a diagnosis of rheumatoid vasculitis that had developed in her buttocks. Upon hospitalization, she developed severe multiorgan failure and hemophagocytic syndrome.

Background: UNC13D deficiency is the most common form of familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) in Asia. Hypogammaglobulinemia is a rare phenotype observed in both patients with FHL3 and sporadic hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Our observations suggest that UNC13D deficiency with hypogammaglobulinemia presents a distinct clinical phenotype compared to other HLH patients.
