We describe a case of recurrent histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL) with aseptic meningitis. The patient was a 46-year-old male and a carrier of human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). The patient had a past medical history of at least three relapses of HNL. In addition, his sister, who was also an HTLV-I carrier, had recurrent clinical episodes consistent with those of HNL, suggesting familial HNL occurrence. This observation suggests the possibility that HTLV-I infection is relevant to the pathogenesis of HNL.
我们描述了一例复发性组织细胞性坏死性淋巴结炎(HNL)合并无菌性脑膜炎的病例。患者为一名46岁男性,是I型人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒(HTLV-I)携带者。该患者既往有至少三次HNL复发病史。此外,他同样是HTLV-I携带者的姐姐有与HNL相符的复发性临床发作,提示HNL可能具有家族性发病情况。这一观察结果提示HTLV-I感染可能与HNL的发病机制相关。
