Abstract:

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is the life-threatening result of inflammatory storm caused by immunological dysfunction. With the development of molecular genetics, current studies have an in-depth understanding of the HLH. For some genotype of HLH, epstein-barr virus (EBV) is an important inducement, known as the EBV-driven HLH. Currently, the Tyrosine-protein kinase ITK deficiency, magnesium transporter protein 1 (MAGT1) deficiency, CD27 deficiency, CD70 deficiency, CTP synthase 1 (CTPS1) deficiency and RAS guanyl-releasing protein 1 (RASGRP1) deficiency are found to be the genotype related to the HLH. In this review, we would summarize the epidemiology, pathophysiological characteristics, clinical manifestations and treatment of EBV-driven HLH.
