The aim of this multicenter GIMEMA study was to correlate autoimmune complications (AIC) in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) with stage and therapy. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (129/194 cases) and autoimmune thrombocytopenia (35/194 cases) were typically present in advanced and multi-treated disease. Age over the median, stage C and first and second line therapy were identified as independent risk factors by multivariate analysis. In contrast, non-hematologic AIC (30/194 cases) and the presence of serological markers of autoimmunity were mostly observed in early B-CLL, suggesting different pathogenic mechanisms underlying hematologic and non-hematologic autoimmune phenomena in B-CLL.
这项多中心GIMEMA研究的目的是将B细胞慢性淋巴细胞白血病(B-CLL)中的自身免疫并发症(AIC)与疾病分期和治疗相关联。自身免疫性溶血性贫血(129/194例)和自身免疫性血小板减少症(35/194例)通常出现在晚期和接受过多种治疗的疾病中。多变量分析确定年龄超过中位数、C期以及一线和二线治疗为独立危险因素。相比之下,非血液学AIC(30/194例)和自身免疫血清学标志物的存在大多在早期B-CLL中观察到,这表明B-CLL中血液学和非血液学自身免疫现象存在不同的致病机制。
