Successful Treatment of Acute Hepatitis A-Associated Hemophagocytic Syndrome by Intravenous Immunoglobulin

以靜脈免疫球蛋白成功治療A型肝炎引起的噬血症候群

並列摘要


Virus associated hemophagocytic syndrome (VAHS) is a rare complication in acute hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection. There is no standard therapy for VAHS and the clinical course is variable. Data on the use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in the treatment of HAV-associated VAHS is limited. We report a previously healthy, 32 year old man who presented with general malaise, fever, chills and splenomegaly. Laboratory examination showed marked elevation of aminotransferase, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Acute hepatitis A was documented by the presence of immunoglobulin M anti-HAV and compatible liver biopsy findings. Bone marrow examination revealed extensive hemophagocytosis. IVIG was administered after the diagnosis of HAV-associated VAHS. His symptoms and laboratory abnormalities improved, and following a smooth recovery he was discharged 1 month after admission.
