Characteristics and prognosis of child hemophagocytic syndrome in different age groups / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis factors of child hemophagocytic syndrome(HPS)in different age groups.Methods Eighty-five children cases of HPS were divided into 3 age groups,0-2 years old (group A),＞2-8 years old (group B) and ＞8-14 years old (group C).The etiology,pathology,clinical symptoms,laboratory detection and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results In the etiology,the etiology in the group A,B and C was dominated by EB virus infection,the infection positive rate in the group C was significantly higher than that in the group B and C;in the bone marrow examinationthe occurrence rate of granulocytes to erythrocytes ratio ＜1.0 in the group A was higher than that in the group C;in the clinical symptoms,cervical lymph node enlargement mostly occurred in the group B,hepatosplenomegaly was most rare in the group C,and the serous cavity effusion commonly occurred in the group B;in the laboratory detection,the LDH level in the group B was higher than that in the group A,the above differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in other clinical symptoms and laboratory detection results among the three groups (P＞0.05);In the comparison between the survival group and death group,the serous cavity effusion,triglyceride(TG),CD4/CD8 ratio and granulocytes to erythrocytes ratio in bone marrow had statistical difference(P＜0.05).The above factors were performed the Logistic analysis,the results showed that TG＞3.5 mmol/L,CD4/CD8 ratio ＜1.24 and bone marrow granulocytes to erythrocytes ratio ＜1.02 were the unfavorable risk factors affecting the prognosis of child HPS (P＜0.05).Conclusion Partial clinical characteristics of child HPS are related with the onset age,TG level,CD4/CD8 ratio and bone marrow granulocytes to erythrocytes ratio are the risk factors affecting prognosis.
