[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] interesting case

[Risma, Kimberly]

Did he have typical CTL? ie what did prf/grB stain look like when measured here in Cinci for eval of HLH? Kim

The patient has been transplanted and is doing fine, but we are hoping that by describing the case it may ring a bell for others, so that more could be understood about the pathophysiology, and hopefully genetics, and perhaps most importantly, so that the parents can be counseled properly. Will attempt to make it as concise as possible:

> A four week old boy born to unrelated parents with no family history of blood or immune problems presented with a fever and left shoulder MSSA abscess which was drained. Dry peeling skin was noted on exam.  A WBC count of 50k was noted, with predominant lymphocytosis, T-cell counts approaching 40k, elevated NK but normal B cell numbers, no eosinophilia. IgA, M and E were not detectable, and IgG was 374 and likely maternal. After a second clean out he defervesced and his WBC and lymphocyte  count almost normalized. Bone marrow biopsy was normal. After several weeks of IV antibiotics he was found, on follow up, to have head to toe eczematous, thick lichenified skin without substantial erythroderma. Several months later, at 4 months (after failing to come to follow up appts) his skin was even worse. He was in respiratory distress, not tolerating feeds but no diarrhea, low grade fever, although parents did not think he was sick. Repeat WBC was again elevated at 95K, . Normal appearing thymus. HSM and LAD were noted, and a LN biopsy should marked reactive T-cell infiltrate with no secondary B-cell follicles and almost no primary B-cell follicles or plasma cells, no clonality. Eventually eventually miliary lesions noted on CXR. Lung biopsy showed just reactive histiocytosis and T-cell infiltrate.  AFB and gram stain negative. Klebsiella bacteremia was found. EBV/CMV PCR negative. Ferritin 2500 but note he was acutely ill.

Over the next month he received etoposide cyclosporin and dexamethasone (HLH protocol) and his WBC fell closer to 15k with skin improvement and LAD/HSM diminution. After stopping the the HLH chemo protocol for one week for transplant conditioning his WBC and skin/LAD/HSM spiked right back up. Despite all of that, he sailed through HSCT is totally healthy several years out. Parents are understandably quite concerned about what this could have been for future family planning.
