چکیده

The case of a 45-year-old man with HIV disease with bulky lymphadenopathy, fevers, and weight loss is presented. Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome was initially believed to be the cause, but the patient was found to suffer from Kaposi sarcoma, multicentric Castleman disease, hemophagocytic syndrome, and a newly described lymphoproliferative disorder. The diagnostic reasoning related to the causes of the fulminant illness is discussed as well as the roles of Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus 8, and hepatitis C virus in the patient's clinical presentation and the therapeutic choices.

Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV)-associated multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) is a polyclonal B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. Human (h) IL-6 and a KSHV-encoded homolog, viral IL-6, have been hypothesized to contribute to its pathogenesis, but their relative contributions to disease activity is not well understood. We prospectively characterized KSHV viral load (VL), viral (v) and hIL-6...

Kaposi sarcoma herpes virus (KSHV), also known as human herpesvirus-8, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) of the plasma cell type, and primary effusion lymphoma. KSHV is rarely associated with the hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS), but when it does occur, it most occurs in immunocompromised patients. We report herein an unusual c...
