1 Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: A unique immunoregulatory disorder Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships Michael B. Jordan, MD Divisions of Immunobiology, and Bone Marrow Transplantation and Immune Deficiency Cincinnati Children s Hospital Medical Center/ Univ. of Cinci. USCAP requires that all planners (Education Committee) in a position to influence or control the content of CME disclose any relevant financial relationship WITH COMMERCIAL INTERESTS which they or their spouse/partner have, or have had, within the past 12 months, which relates to the content of this educational activity and creates a conflict of interest. Dr. Jordan declares he is a consultant for Novimmune. michael.jordan@cchmc.org The immune system is a powerful machine Essential for survival, remarkably flexible, and potentially very dangerous Immune regulation and human disease Initiation / Context cues - Danger sensing - Modulate innate inflammation CAPS TRAPS auto-inflammatory Inborn errors of immune regulation Specificity -Thymic/ marrow selection APECED Inhibition/ Termination -Suppressive lymphocytes -Lymphocyte survival -Immunosuppresive mediators IPEX CTLA4/ LRBA ALPS Magnitude of T cell activation/ mobilization of innate effectors (feedback control of acute activation) Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis () What is? Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (): a highly fatal disorder treated with immune suppression /marrow transplantation, often associated with genetic impairment of perforin-mediated cytotoxicity Mouse models: Immune regulation and immunopathology Human disease: correlations, interventions, and complexity Trottestam H et al.

JIA : trigger vs. mimic? Anti- therapy: I favor the term syndrome for situations that meet criteria, but would not benefit from immune suppression Mimics: Viruses: HSV (in neonates), adenovirus (in PID), even CMV (if undiagnosed) Other spec. infections: leishmania, mycobacteria Drug reactions: if undiagnosed Malignancy: if undiagnosed 8
