We report the case of a man in his late 30s who presented with a history of breathlessness and cough with haemoptysis. Complete blood counts revealed pancytopenia. High-resolution CT showed diffuse bilateral ground glass opacities. Sequential bronchoalveolar lavage confirmed alveolar haemorrhage. Bone marrow aspiration showed vacuoles in erythroid and myeloid precursor cells. The genome was sequenced, and the UBA1 gene revealed a c.121 A>G mutation (p.Met41Val), confirming vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome. The patient was managed with high-dose prednisolone pulse therapy. He improved with the complete resolution of the alveolar haemorrhage and an improvement in lung function and cytopenias.
我们报告了一例 30 多岁男性患者,其病史为呼吸困难、咳嗽伴咯血。全血细胞计数显示全血细胞减少。高分辨率 CT 显示弥漫性双侧磨玻璃影。序贯支气管肺泡灌洗证实为肺泡出血。骨髓抽吸显示红系和髓系前体细胞有空泡。对基因组进行测序,UBA1 基因显示 c.121 A>G 突变(p.Met41Val),证实有空泡、E1 酶、X 连锁、自身炎症、体细胞综合征。该患者接受了大剂量泼尼松龙脉冲治疗。他的肺泡出血完全缓解,肺功能和细胞减少症得到改善。
