To highlight a novel, treatable syndrome, we report 4 patients with CNS-isolated inflammation associated with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) gene mutations (CNS-FHL).
Retrospective chart review.
Patients with CNS-FHL are characterized by chronic inflammation restricted to the CNS that is not attributable to any previously described neuroinflammatory etiology and have germline mutations in known FHL-associated genes with no signs of systemic inflammation. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) can be well tolerated and effective in achieving or maintaining disease remission in patients with CNS-FHL.
Early and accurate diagnosis followed by treatment with HCT can reduce morbidity and mortality in CNS-FHL, a novel, treatable syndrome.
This study provides Class IV evidence that HCT is well tolerated and effective in treating CNS-FHL.
强调一种新的、可治疗的综合征,我们报告了 4 例与家族性噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增多症(FHL)基因突变相关的中枢神经系统孤立性炎症(CNS-FHL)患者。
回顾性病历分析。
CNS-FHL 患者的特征为慢性炎症局限于中枢神经系统,且不能归因于任何先前描述的神经炎症病因,同时具有已知与 FHL 相关的基因突变,但无全身炎症迹象。造血干细胞移植(HCT)可耐受良好,对 CNS-FHL 患者达到或维持疾病缓解有效。
早期和准确的诊断,随后进行 HCT 治疗,可以降低 CNS-FHL 的发病率和死亡率,这是一种新的、可治疗的综合征。
本研究提供了 IV 级证据,表明 HCT 可耐受良好,且对治疗 CNS-FHL 有效。
