Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome Misdiagnosed as Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis A Case Report
Autoimmune lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) is a rare inherited disorder of apoptosis. It usually presents with chronic lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and symptomatic cytopenia in a child. Herein, we report a 14-year-old boy with symptoms misdiagnosed as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who was treated before ALPS was diagnosed for the patient. This case should alert pediatricians to consi...
متن کاملThe broad spectrum of autoimmune lymphoproliferative disease: molecular bases, clinical features and long-term follow-up in 31 patients.
Autoimmune lymphoproliferative disorders, including autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) and Dianzani autoimmune lymphoproliferative disease (DALD), are inherited defects of the Fas apoptotic pathway characterized by lymphoid accumulation and autoimmune manifestations. We report the molecular, clinical, immunologic features and the long-term progress of 31 patients. Four carried Fas g...
متن کاملAutoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS): a rare cause of immune cytopenia.
Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is an inherited disorder manifesting with autoimmune cytopenia, lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. The differential diagnosis includes infections, autoimmune disorders or malignancies. The disease is characterized by accumulation of double negative (CD3+ CD4- CD8-) T cells (DNT) in the peripheral blood. We describe a case and review the literature.
متن کاملAssociation of severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SMEI) with probable autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome-variant.
The paper reported on a case of severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SMEI) associated with a probable autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome variant (Dianzani autoimmune lymphoproliferative disease) (DALD). A male patient with typical features of SMEI and a SCN1A gene variant presented in the first year of life with multiple lymph nodes, palpable liver at 2 cm from the costal margin, neutrope...
متن کاملDiagnosis of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome caused by FAS deficiency in adults.
A diagnosis of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome caused by FAS deficiency during adulthood is unusual. We analyzed 17 cases of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome caused by FAS deficiency diagnosed during adulthood in French reference centers for hereditary immunodeficiencies and for immune cytopenias. Twelve of the 17 patients had developed their first symptoms during childhood. The ...
متن کاملAutoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome is a recently identified human disorder of lymphocyte apoptosis that has provided important information about Fas-mediated lymphocyte apoptosis. In this review we summarize current information regarding the diagnosis, management and underlying molecular basis of the syndrome. RECENT FINDINGS The genetic basis of autoimmune lymphopr...
