Virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome, first described by Risdall and co-workers in 1979,1 is a rare histiocytic proliferative syndrome characterzed by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia, and erythrophagocytosis by histiocytes that appear benign by histologic criteria. The clinical course and pathologic findings may be identical with another histiocytic disorder, familial erythrophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, which occurs predominantly in infants. Diagnosis of virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome depends entirely on evidence of concurrent viral infection, usually of the herpes group. Epstein-Barr virus has been associated with this syndrome in the few cases reported in children without underlying disease, whereas cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been implicated in immunosuppressed patients. We report a case of fatal CMV-associated hemophagocytic syndrome which occurred in a previously healthy infant.

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to compare the clinical features and laboratory tests of infectious mononucleosis (IM) and hemophagocytic syndrome (HLH) caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in 1-3-year-old children and to explore the risk factor of HLH caused by EBV (EBV-HLH). Methods The clinical data of 92 children with EBV infection admitted in our hospital from 2011 to 2019 were collected; 61 cases were diagnosed as EBV-IM, and 31 cases were diagnosed as EBV-HLH. The subjects’ clinical manifestations and laboratory tests were analyzed retrospectively. Results Compared with EBV-IM patients, EBV-HLH patients had longer durations of fever, both before hospitalization and overall, and a higher probability of hepatomegaly. The levels of ALT, AST, LDH, TG, SF, D-Dimer and the plasma EBV DNA load of EBV-HLH patients were significantly higher than those of EBV-IM patients. The absolute values of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, NK, and CD3-CD19+ cells and IgA and IgM levels of EBV-HLH patients were significantly lower than those of EBV-IM patients. The plasma EBV DNA load was positively correlated with the PT, TT, α-HBDH, AST, LDH, CK, Scr, BUN, UA, TG, and CRP levels in EBV-HLH patients, and the plasma EBV DNA load was positively correlated with the D-Dimer level in the EBV-IM patients. Among the 10 different potential markers, at the cut-off point of 1721.500 µg/L, the sensitivity and specificity of D-Dimer was 88.90% and 90.20%, respectively. Conclusion The D-Dimer level may be a good prognostic indicator of EBV-HLH caused by EBV.
