目的:分析儿童EB病毒阳性T/NK细胞淋巴组织增殖性疾病临床病理特征及预后。方法:回顾性分析了21例儿童EB病毒阳性T/NK细胞淋巴组织增殖性疾病的临床病理资料,采用Kaplan-Meier法分析预后影响因素。结果:21例儿童EBV-T/NK-LPDs中男孩12例,女孩9例,发病年龄2~14岁(中位年龄8岁)。CAEBV 9例,HV-LPD 8例,CSEBV + TCL 4例,发病年龄分别为7~14岁(中位年龄10岁),2~12岁(中位年龄6岁)、6~12岁(中位年龄8.5岁)。临床主要表现为发热(17/21)、肝脏肿大(15/21)、脾脏肿大(14/21)、淋巴结肿大(11/21)和皮疹(10/21),伴全血细胞减少(10/21)、肝功能异常(9/21)、凝血功能障碍(7/21)、HLH (7/21)及肾功能异常(3/21)。21例患儿全血EBV-DNA拷贝数明显升高,超过104 copies/ml。组织病理特点为EB病毒感染的淋巴细胞增生,细胞形态多样。免疫组化:CD3、TIA-1阳性,部分合并CD56阳性。EBER原位杂交阳性。Ki-67增殖指数10%~90%。2例CAEBV、2例CSEBV + TCL及1例HV-LPD患儿检测到TCRγ基因克隆性重排。治疗策略包括抗病毒、糖皮质激素、联合化疗和HLH方案,1例患儿接受造血干细胞移植。随访20例患儿,随访时间0.3~59个月,死亡16例,存活4例。单因素分析结果:血小板减少(P = 0.013)、LDH升高(P = 0.003)、胆红素升高(P = 0)、肾功能异常(P = 0.02)、凝血功能障碍(P = 0)、合并HLH (P = 0)是预后不良的影响因素。结论:儿童EBV-T/NK-LPDs临床罕见,侵袭性强,接受抗病毒、糖皮质激素或按HLH方案治疗,病死率仍高。血小板减少、LDH升高、胆红素升高、肾功能异常、凝血功能障碍、合并HLH与不良预后相关。 Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological features and prognosis factors of Epstein-Barr virus positive T and NK-cell lymphoproliferative diseases of children. Methods: The clinicopathological data of 21 children with Epstein-Barr virus positive T and NK-cell lymphoproliferative diseases were retrospectively analyzed according to clinicopathological subtypes. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the prognostic factors. Results: Among the 21 patients with this disease, 12 were males and 9 were females. And the age of onset ranged from 2 to 14 years (median onset age, 8 years), 9 of CAEBV, 8 of HV-LPD, and 4 of CSEBV + TCL. The onset ages were 7~14 years (median on-set age, 10 years), 2~12 years (median onset age, 6 years) and 6~12 years (median onset age, 8.5 years) separately. The main manifestations included fever (17/21), hepatomegaly (15/21), sple-nomegaly (14/21), lymphadenopathy (11/21) and rash (10/21). Laboratory examination showed pancytopenia (10/21), abnormal liver function (9/21), coagulation dysfunction (7/21), HLH (7/21) and abnormal kidney function (3/21). EBV genome lode in the peripheral blood of 21 patients was more than 104 copies/ml. Histopathology is characterized by EBV positive lymphocytes prolifera-tion with diverse morphology. The immunophenotype showed positive for CD3 and TIA-1(+), and partial positive for CD56. EBER-ISH positive cells were seen in all cases. The Ki-67 index was range from 10 % to 90 %. Clonal TCR-γ gene rearrangement was detected in 2 of CAEBV, 2 of CSEBV + TCL, and 1 of HV-LPD. The treatment strategies included antiviral, glucocorticoid, combined chemother-apy and HLH treatment regimen. One child received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 20 children were followed up with a follow-up time from 0.3 to 59 months, 16 children died, 4 children survived. Univariate analysis showed that thrombocytopenia (P = 0.013), elevated LDH (P = 0.003), elevated bilirubin (P = 0), renal dysfunction (P = 0.02), coagulation dysfunction (P = 0), and the presence of HLH (P = 0) were associated with poor prognosis. Conclusion: EBV-T/NK-LPDs of chil-dren is rare and aggressive. The outcome of antiviral therapy, glucocorticoid therapy alone or HLH treatment regimens, is unsatisfactory. Thrombocytopenia, elevated LDH, elevated bilirubin, ab-normal renal function, coagulation dysfunction and HLH are associated with poor prognosis.

2016年WHO淋巴肿瘤分类将慢性活动性EBV感染(Chronic active epstein-barr virus infection, CAEBV)和儿童系统性EBV阳性T细胞淋巴瘤(Systemic EBV-positive T-cell lymphoma of childhood, CSEBV + TCL)纳入EBV阳性T/NK细胞淋巴组织增殖性疾病(Epstein-barr virus positive T and NK-cell lymphoproliferative diseases, EBV-T/NK-LPDs) 。这是一类具有系统性炎症表现和肿瘤性质的异质性疾病 [
我院2017年1月至2020年9月诊治的21例儿童EBV-T/NK-LPDs,其中2例患儿分别于2014年、2016年明确诊断。诊断标准:1) 侵袭性临床病程或持续性、反复性发作传染性单核细胞增多症样表现(如发热、淋巴结肿大、肝脾肿大等)超过3个月和/或皮肤反复丘疱疹、溃疡、凹陷性愈合瘢痕。2) 定量PCR检测全血存在高EB病毒载量(EBV-DNA ≥ 1 × 102.5 copies/ml)以及组织病理EBV编码的RNA (EBER)原位杂交阳性。3) 组织病理学结果疑诊或诊断为EBV-T/NK-LPDs。4) 除外潜在的免疫异常(免疫缺陷、自身免疫性疾病)和肿瘤。必须同时满足以上4条。
结合2016年全国儿童EB病毒感染协作组提出的CAEBV诊断标准 [
收集资料包括患儿临床表现、血常规、肝肾功能、血脂、凝血功能、病毒抗体、外周血EBV-DNA、病理检查、EBER、T细胞受体重排、治疗方案及治疗后生存状态,随访截止日期为2020年12月1日,或直到发生死亡或失访。以此分析儿童EBV-T/NK-LPDs的临床病理特点及影响预后的因素。
使用SPSS 26.0软件进行数据统计分析。定性资料采用例数和百分比表示;3组临床病理分型间差异性比较采用Kruskal-Wallis H检验;预后的影响因素分析采用Kaplan-Meier法。P < 0.05有统计学差异。

12份淋巴结标本(5例CAEBV、4例CSEBV + TCL、1例HV-LPD)的组织病理结果:淋巴结结构完整5份、淋巴结部分结构破坏5份,3份存在吞噬血细胞现象。可见淋巴细胞和/或组织细胞增生,增生细胞形态多样,可见大–中等类圆形细胞、小-中等细胞、淋巴样细胞及组织样细胞等,部分病例见淋巴滤泡缩小或被膜下窦、髓窦扩张。
累及皮肤的大多数病例有相似的组织病理表现,14份皮肤标本(8例HV-LPD、2例CAEBV)组织病理结果:真皮层及皮下组织内淋巴细胞或淋巴样细胞浸润,浸润深度不一,在6份可见淋巴细胞血管中心性浸润,3份可见皮肤附件周围淋巴细胞浸润。浸润细胞为小型或小–中型,1例为中–大型细胞。可见轻度异型性细胞浸润。偶有中性粒细胞、单核细胞、浆细胞和嗜酸性粒细胞等炎性细胞浸润。
11份骨髓标本(5例CAEBV、2例CSEBV + TCL、1例HV-LPD)的增殖病理结果相似,9份表现为有核细胞增生活跃,三系增生,6份可见淋巴组织细胞增生,4份存在吞噬现象。其中1例患儿病程进展时骨髓活检提示有核细胞增生减低。1例患儿骨髓活检可见微脓肿形成。
肝脏活检:炎性细胞浸润,细胞有轻度异型性。
结肠粘膜组织活检:炎性细胞及淋巴细胞浸润,可见中等偏大细胞异型细胞增生。
鼻咽部组织活检:弥漫性坏死,其间可见小灶肿瘤细胞,小–中等大小,胞浆稀少,核浓染,可见细胞浸润血管壁,核碎屑易见。
表2总结了免疫表型、EBER原位杂交、TCR重排结果(未纳入骨髓)。CD3及TIA-1阳性率为100% (24/24, 18/18),CD20阳性率为33.3% (7/21),CD56阳性率为38.1% (8/21)。CD30阳性率为55.6% (10/18)。20份标本同时表达CD4和CD8 (20/20),其中CD4+/CD8+ > 1有8份,CD4+/CD8+ < 1有6份。除1例鼻咽部受累患儿的淋巴结组织病理检查EBER阴性,其余28份标本EBER均阳性。Ki-67增殖指数10%~90%。10例患儿接受TCR基因重排检测,5例检测到TCRγ基因克隆性重排(2例CAEBV、2例CSEBV + TCL、1例HV-LPD)。
21例患儿接受治疗方案如下:糖皮质激素联合抗病毒治疗4例,单用糖皮质激素治疗3例、干扰素-α和/或更昔洛韦等抗病毒治疗3例,采用HLH方案治疗5例,采用LDEP、CHOP或SMILE联合化疗治疗2例。其中1例经糖皮质激素联合依托泊苷治疗后仍持续进展的HV-LPD患儿,进行了异基因造血干细胞移植。3例患儿确诊后放弃治疗。
共随访20例患儿,随访时间0.3~59个月,16例患儿死亡。另外4例患儿在7~59个月的随访期内存活。其中,CAEBV死亡6例、HV-LPD死亡6例、CSEBV + TCL 4例均死亡。16例死亡患儿的中位生存时间为16.5个月(0.3~161个月)。其中,CAEBV、HV-LPD、CSEBV + TCL中位生存时间分别是9个月(7~25个月)、60个月(24~16个月)、2.5个月(0.3~6个月)。生存时间在3组临床病理分型间存在统计学差异(P = 0.002),在CSEBV + TCL与HV-LPD间有统计学差异(P = 0.001)。主要死亡原因为多器官功能衰竭以及合并HLH。
对21例患儿的临床资料进行单因素分析,包括发病年龄 > 8岁、性别、面部肿胀、血小板减少、肝功能异常、胆红素升高、肾功能异常、LDH升高、凝血功能障碍、合并HLH,结果显示儿童EBV-T/NK-LPDs预后不良与血小板减少(P = 0.013)、LDH升高(P = 0.003)、胆红素升高(P = 0)、肾功能异常(P = 0.02)、凝血功能障碍(P = 0)、合并HLH (P = 0)有关(P < 0.05)。
儿童EBV-T/NK-LPDs临床罕见,系EBV感染T/NK细胞后克隆性增殖并浸润组织器官导致。可呈良性自限性或恶性肿瘤性临床表现,主要发生在亚洲及拉丁美洲 [
儿童EBV-T/NK-LPDs临床特点为反复发作性或持续性传单样表现,以发热、肝脾肿大、淋巴结肿大为主;种痘样皮疹是累及皮肤的重要表现。出现系统性炎症表现时,易累及造血系统、影响肝脏功能 [
本研究发现儿童EBV-T/NK-LPDs病理学特点为受累组织淋巴细胞浸润,可累及皮肤、淋巴结、骨髓、肝脏、消化道、鼻咽部组织。浸润的细胞大小不一,部分可见轻度异型性。与既往研究结果相似 [
此外,本研究中3例CSEBV + TCL全部死亡。CSEBV + TCL需与其他亚型EBV-T/NK-LPDs鉴别,但临床上与EBV-HLH难以完全区分。本研究中3例CSEBV + TCL在发病以后3月内死亡,另1例发病后6月内死亡,其中一半患儿合并HLH。在既往一些研究中,并未严格将两者区分 [
在治疗方面,尚未建立儿童EBV-T/NK-LPDs的标准治疗策略。在美国,Jeffrey I Cohen等人采用大剂量激素,更昔洛韦与组蛋白去乙酰化酶抑制剂或硼替佐米联合使用,可暂时缓解病情 [
近年来,Chon J提出白人患者的预后优于非白人患者,较少合并全身炎症表现,血液中EBV DNA拷贝数更低,NK细胞水平更高。与此同时,国内有研究指出中国HV-LPD患儿可仅采用保守治疗方案,如糖皮质激素、干扰素,化疗不推荐为常规推荐 [
本研究通过Kaplan-Meier分析,发现多个因素与预后不良相关,既往文献显示血小板减少、肝功能损害、LDH升高、合并HLH、发病年龄 > 15岁是影响患儿预后的主要因素 [
