A 58-year-old Japanese woman with herpes zoster developed Behçet's disease (BD) with symptoms including orthostatic intolerance as an autonomic disorder. Multiple immune-suppressive therapies and a β-blocker successfully controlled both the disease activity of BD and the autonomic disorders. A cytokine multiplex analysis of her serum revealed the elevation of proinflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNFα), and interferon gamma (IFN-γ)] and a low IL-10 concentration. IL-10 production is reported to be important for defense against herpes zoster virus (VZV). Insufficient IL-10 production is reported in BD. The reactivation of VZV with this cytokine profile suggests that BD will develop with various symptoms, including severe autonomic disorders.
一名58岁患有带状疱疹的日本女性患上了白塞病(BD),症状包括作为自主神经功能障碍的直立性不耐受。多种免疫抑制疗法和一种β受体阻滞剂成功控制了BD的疾病活动和自主神经功能障碍。对她的血清进行的细胞因子多重分析显示促炎细胞因子[白细胞介素(IL)-1、IL-6、IL-12、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNFα)和干扰素γ(IFN-γ)]升高,而IL-10浓度较低。据报道,IL-10的产生对于抵御带状疱疹病毒(VZV)很重要。BD患者中据报道存在IL-10产生不足的情况。具有这种细胞因子谱的VZV再激活表明BD会出现包括严重自主神经功能障碍在内的各种症状。
