Hairy cell leukaemia with T cell features.
A case of clinically and hematologically typical hairy-cell leukemia has been presented in which, at the various times of testing, 52%-95% of peripheral blood and 73% of splenic mononuclear cells formed spontaneous sheep erythrocyte (E) rosettes. Many of the rosetting cells were shown to be typical morphologic hairy cells by light and electron microscopy. It was found that 70%-75% of peripheral...
متن کاملStevens-Johnson Syndrome Associated with Mogamulizumab-induced Deficiency of Regulatory T cells in an Adult T-cell Leukaemia Patient.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare but extremely severe drug-induced eruption characterised by widespread necrosis or apoptosis of the epidermis (1). The main causal factor for SJS is an aberrant activation of CD8 T cells. Although the dysfunction of the regulatory T cells (Treg) is considered a possible cause of excess CD8 T cells activation (2), the actual significance of Tregs in vivo ...
متن کاملA case report of adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL).
Adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a unique disease with distinct manifestations, a characteristic phenotype and a likely retroviral aetiology. It is unusual in Southeast Asia, though more commonly seen in some countries like Japan. We report a case of this disease in a 71-year-old man in Singapore who presented with papular erythematous eruptions for 6 years and subsequently developed g...
متن کاملA case report of adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma.
Adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a rare T lymphoproliferative disorder which is aetiologically linked with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1). HTLV-1 is endemic in Japan, Caribbean and Africa. The highest incidence of ATLL is in Japan although sporadic cases have been reported elsewhere in the world. We describe a case of ATLL with an unusual presentation which we believe ...
متن کاملClinical Trials of Adult T-Cell Leukaemia/Lymphoma Treatment
Adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is an aggressive malignancy of mature activated T cells caused by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1). Prognosis is severe because of intrinsic chemoresistance and severe immuosuppression. Four different subtypes are described with different outcomes, and treatment strategies vary according to the different clinical courses. Japanese trials sho...
