Subject: [cis-pidd] 17 mo M with autoimmune cytopenias, hypotonia, 3rd nerve palsy

We here at CHLA have a case of a 17 month old M with autoimmune cytopenias (thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia and neutropenia), hypotonia and new 3rd nerve palsy with no focal findings on MRI.

He was increase in double negative T cells (CD3+ CD4-CD8-, TCR a/b 5.1%), but no palpable lymphadenopathy (only LAD on CT) and normal looking nodes on biopsy.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thoughts on Rituxan for for this patient?
Further diagnositic studies?

*Patient Summary*:

Patient is a now 13-month-old boy with a history of developmental delay, hypotonia and febrile seizure who was first seen 12/2014 with
thrombocytopenia that was responsive to IVIG.   He was then hospitalized
4/26-4/28/15 for fever, hypoxemia found to be +metapneumovirus.  He represented on 4/29 to an outside hospital due to persistent fever, possible febrile seizure, and respiratory distress.  At the OSH he was treated for PNA diagnosed on CXR with vancomycin and ceftriaxone x14 days.
He was noted to have thrombocytopenia and received 6 g IVIG on 5/21/15.
Developed new dysconjugate gaze with L lid half closed, evaluated by peds neuro with *MRI brain and orbits reported negative *except for right sphenoid and ethmoid sinus disease.  He was subsequently transferred back to our care.

Repeat MRI/MRA/MRV did not detect any focal lesions in the brain.  CT of the chest abdomen and pelvis did note hilar, mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and groin adenopathy.  Additionally in the chest there was patchy “bilateral lung opacities both upper and lower lungs that may be infectious/inflammatory, but areas of atelectasis/scarring not excluded”.

LN biopsy on a node from the groin did not show any significant abnormalities (no cancer, not consistent with ALPS).  Bone marrow was similarly underwhelming.

Ophtho and neurology calling the new ptosis Miller-Fisher variant Guillain-Barre syndrome.  Neuronal ab screen (Hu) was positive, but western blot was negative.

 FH:

--No consanguinty.  No history of recurrent infections.

--The patient's mother is of Filipino and Mexican descent. The patient's father is of Mexican descent.

--Maternal uncle, paternal uncle, and grandmother with asthma.  Mom with atopic dermatitis.  Paternal uncle with allergic rhinitis.  No family history of thrombocytopenia

SH: Recently moved to LA from New Mexico.  2 dogs at home.  No smokers at home.  Lives with mom, dad, paternal uncle, and paternal grandparents.

Birth history: Born full term via NSVD.  No complications. Birth weight 5 lbs 6 oz.  No NICU stay. Born in New Mexico (no newborn screen)

Developmental history:  Crawls (started at age 12 months), Cruises (started at 15 months), Says mama and dada (started at 10 months), Reaches for objects

LN biopsy - Both H\T\E stained sections demonstrate benign lymph nodes with mild follicular hyperplasia and mild paracortical expansion.
Germinal centers are well formed with a crisp mantle zone. The paracortex is composed of a heterogeneous population of small lymphocytes, immunoblasts, plasma cells and with mild vascular proliferation. There is focal sinus histiocytosis (A2)

Abd US:  Nonspecific coarsened echotexture within the liver, which can be seen in infiltrative processes such as steatosis. No discrete liver lesion or evidence of biliary duct dilatation.

MRI/MRA/MRV Brain/Orbits:

--No evidence of acute infarct, hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, or mass.

--No signal abnormality or abnormal enhancement within the orbits.

--Normal course and caliber the visualized portions of the circle of Willis.

--No evidence of occlusion or high-grade stenosis of the major dural venous sinuses.

CT Chest/Abd/Pelvis:

1. Patchy bilateral lung opacities both upper and lower lungs that maybe infectious/inflammatory, but areas of atelectasis/scarring not excluded.
Greatest area is at right base where it seems more consolidated.

2. Right hilar, mediastinum, retroperitoneum, groin adenopathy of which some are partially calcified at the right groin along with

hepatosplenomegaly. Would wonder about granulomatous disease whether TB or cocci since calcified nodes are less typical for histiocytosis

or cat scratch. Otherwise could relate to other rheumatologic/infectious/inflammatory process. Further down the differential would be leukemia/lymphoma (not typical for neuroblastoma).

 Swallow study normal.
