Abstract:
:Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe systemic syndrome associated with hyperactivation of macrophages and impaired regulation of the immune system. Two forms of HLH are currently recognized: genetically determined or familial (FHLH), and secondarily developed in the course of primary diseases, like autoimmune disorders, rheumatoid disorders, cancers, or infections. In the Polish population, FHLH is rather rare. The aim of the present study was to assess the immune function in a group of children with clinical symptoms suggesting FHLH. Forty five children with suspected HLH of the median age of 4 years and 15 healthy children, taken as a control group, were enrolled into the study. All presented results were obtained with the use of flow cytometry. In the HLH group, there were only three cases identified with the UNC13D gene mutation responsible for the FHLH3 phenotype. Another four children, without known mutation, were classified as FHLH because of frequent recurrence of the disease. In all cases of FHLH, cell cytotoxicity was impaired compared with healthy children (p = 0.003). Perforin expression in FHLH was normal or higher than that observed in controls (p = 0.09). In case of patients with mutation in the Munc13 protein, degranulation was lower than that in healthy children (<5 %). The findings of this study demonstrate that children with known mutations responsible for the FHLH development are immunocompromised. However, it requires further elucidation whether the presence of currently unknown mutations could lead to a similar phenotype.
