Anti-CD20-based chemo-immunotherapeutic regimens have been suggested to assist in the management of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and EBV-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (EBV-PTLD), by reducing EBV viral load and EBV-induced inflammation. Herein we report a fatal EBV-related HLH in the context of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)-like Richter's transformation of B chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), two months after rituximab treatment. The complex balance between EBV driven T-cell stimulation and immunosuppressive therapy in the context of multiple immune deficits is discussed.
基于抗CD20的化学免疫治疗方案已被建议用于辅助治疗爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒（EBV）诱导的噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症（HLH）和EBV相关的移植后淋巴增殖性疾病（EBV-PTLD），通过降低EBV病毒载量和EBV诱导的炎症反应。在此，我们报告1例在利妥昔单抗治疗2个月后，发生于B细胞慢性淋巴细胞白血病（B-CLL）向霍奇金淋巴瘤（HL）样Richter转化背景下的致命性EBV相关HLH。本文还讨论了在多种免疫缺陷情况下，EBV驱动的T细胞刺激与免疫抑制治疗之间的复杂平衡。
