  1. Various immunodeficiencies Hyperinflammatory but inadequate immune response Clinical picture of HLH

  2. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) Clinical symptoms and findings High fever, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia Neurological symptoms, jaundice, edema, lymphadenopathy, rash High triglycerides, low fibrinogen, coagulopathy high ferritin, transaminases, bilirubin, LDH CSF pleocytosis and/or elevated protein Hemophagocytosis in BM or other organs

  3. Phagocytosing macrophages in HLH

  4. HLH Variable course of disease  Rapidly progressive leading to death within weeks  Transient improvements with unspecific therapies  Disappearance of symptoms without therapy  Disappearance of symptoms with immuno- suppressive/immunomodulatory drugs

  5. HLH Classification Genetic, primary HLH Acquired, secondary HLH  FHLH - Perforin mutations (chr.10) Exogenous agents - infectious organisms, toxins - Chromosom 9 linkage (VAHS, IAHS) - Unknown mutations HLHEndogenous products - tissue damage - radical stress  - Immune deficiencies - metabolic products CHS Griscelli syndrome Rheumatic disorders XLP Malignancies SCID GJ 2002

  8. „IAHS“ in Childhood (219 cases from the literature) (1979-1995) Age Clinical outcome Dead Alive No data < 3 years: 77 40 26 11 > 3 years: 82 29 47 6 „Children“: 60 60 22 4 Total 219 103/198 95/198 (52%) (48%)

  9. HLH Diagnostic criteria Histiocyte Society 1991 Clinical Fever > 38.5 Splenomegaly Laboratory Cytopenia of => 2/3 cell lines Hypertriglyceridemia and/or hypofibrinogenemia Histopathology Hemophagocytosis in bone marrow or spleen or liver or lymphnode Strong supportive evidence are spinal fluid pleocytosis, liver histology resembling chronic persistent hepatitis, low natural killer cell activity

  10. At initial presentationAt diagnosis

  11. HLH Immunological parameters  Hypercytokinemia (TNF, INF, IL 6, IL 8, IL 10),  Increased soluble CD 25 (interleukin 2 receptor -chain)  Increased soluble CD95-ligand  NK-cell activity below 5% lysis  CD2/CD86 positive cells in lymphocyte gate  Phagocytosing dendritic cells in culture

  12. HLH Therapy Cytostatic and immunsuppressive/ immunomodulatory drugs: Corticosteroids, Cyclosporin A, Etoposide Immunoglobulins, Antithymocyte globulin  Bone marrow transplantation Prognosis In 20% no response to therapy After BMT 60-70% relapse-free survival
