摘要：

To clarify the correlation between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) involvement and hypercytokinaemia in haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), we analysed serum interferon-gamma levels and EBV-DNA in biological specimens obtained from 25 HLH cases (23 children and two adults). We found that HLH patients showed a wide range of serum IFN-gamma levels from 0.2 to 1300 U/ml, with a median 126 U/ml for EBV-DNA-positive (n = 9) and 4.5 U/ml for EBV-DNA-negative (n = 16) groups. The latter group could be classified further into a group with hyper-IFN-gamma-naemia (>4.5 U/ml) (n = 8) and a group without hyper-IFN-gamma-naemia (n = 8). The survival of the hyper-IFN-gamma-naemic cases was significantly poorer than non-hyper-IFN-gamma-naemic cases. We conclude that EBV is probably involved in one third of the HLH cases, all of whom show hyper-IFN-gamma-naemia, and in the half of the HLH cases with hyper-IFN-gamma-naemia who have a rapidly fatal outcome.
