A 70-year-old man from an endemic area of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) developed rapid generalized lymphadenopathy and abdominal tumours. The white blood cell count was 198.3 x 10(9)/l with 93% lymphocytes, 66.3% of which expressed large granular lymphocytes (LGLs). Bone marrow and lymph nodes were also infiltrated by LGLs. Surface markers were positive for CD4, CD25 and HLA-DR, and negative for CD3, CD8, CD16, CD56 and CD57. A monoclonal integration of HTLV-I proviral DNA was demonstrated on these LGLs by Southern blot hybridization analysis. This fact indicates that some adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma may morphologically present LGL leukaemia.
一名来自人类T细胞白血病病毒I型(HTLV-I)流行地区的70岁男性出现了快速进展的全身淋巴结肿大和腹部肿瘤。白细胞计数为198.3×10⁹/L,淋巴细胞占93%,其中66.3%为大颗粒淋巴细胞(LGL)。骨髓和淋巴结也被LGL浸润。表面标志物CD4、CD25和HLA-DR呈阳性,而CD3、CD8、CD16、CD56和CD57呈阴性。通过Southern印迹杂交分析在这些LGL上证实了HTLV-I前病毒DNA的单克隆整合。这一事实表明,一些成人T细胞白血病/淋巴瘤在形态学上可能表现为LGL白血病。
