24 The epidemiology of hyperferritinaemia Review Iron profile measurements in a teaching hospital in Newcastle (UK) Used ferritin level >=1500microg/L (3370pmol/L, 7x of upper limit) as cutoff 199 patients identified 81 patients were identified as having a single cause for raised ferritin level
25 The epidemiology of hyperferritinaemia Among these 81 patients % due to alcoholic liver disease % due to renal failure % due to other chronic liver disease % due to haematological disease or repeated transfusions % due hereditary haemochromatosis % due to neoplasia % due to autoimmune disease and inflammatory disorders
26 Cause of hyperferritinaemia in our patient Non-alcohol drinker Normal renal function Only received 2 unit of packed cells transfusion Search through the literature, ferritin level >33000pmol/L essentially not found in patients with infectious disease alone
27 Cause of hyperferritinaemia in our patient: differentals? Haemachromatosis? Autoimmune disease, mainly adult still s disease, systemic lupus erythematosus? Haemophagocytic symdrome
28 Haemophagocytic syndorme (haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis) Haemophagocytosis : Dysregulated proliferation of macrophages engulfing platelets, erythrocytes, leucocytes and their haematopoietic precursors Haemophagocytic syndrome is a disorder characterised by fevers, hepatosplenomegaly,cytopenias, and hyperferritinaemia and the pathological finding of haemophagocytosis in bone marrow and other tissues
29 Haemophagocytic syndorme Primary or familial haemophagocytic syndrome usually has a genetic aetiology Secondary haemophagocytic syndrome associated with malignancy, autoimmune disease, or infection. First described in years later, understood that it was the inappropriate immune response during infection/autoimmune disease and leading to uncontrolled proliferation of benign histiocytes with haemophagocytosis
30 Immunopathological mechanisms Trigger e.g. TB/virus Th1 cell and CD8 lymphocytes (produce IFN-, IL-2 ) Macrophage (produce IL-6, IL-1, IL-8,TNF- α, IL-12) NK Cell (produce IFN-γ, TNF-α, Macrophage-CSF)
31 Pathophysiology Impaired or absent function of NK cells and cytotoxic T cells is the hallmark of the disease. The cytotoxic activity of NK cells and of CD8+ T-cell lymphocytes is mediated by the release of cytolytic granules (containing large amounts of perforin, granzymes, and other proteases) to kill the infected cells In study familial haemophagocytic syndrome, it was found that mutaion of genetic loci related to the activity of perforin and granzyme granule have been associated with genetic hemophagocytic syndrome
32 Pathophysiology Cytokine storm cause severe anorexia and systemic symptoms Cytopenia results from both hemophagocytosis in the bone marrow and depression of hematopoiesis by cytokines Serum ferritin elevation is the rule, the most likely mechanism being IL-1β elevation. Serum ferritin levels may correlate with disease activity and outcome under treatment. Hypertriglyceridemia is an extremely common finding that is due to lipoprotein lipase inhibition by TNF-α
33 Pathophysiology Coagulation disorders are common. The most common pattern is fibrinogen deficiency due to liver dysfunction and, above all, plasminogen and factor-x activation by IL-1β. There was also evidence that fibrinogen was engulfed by the activated macrophages. Liver dysfunction (cytolysis and cholestasis) is frequently seen. IFN-γ contributes to the development of cholestasis and apoptosis.
34 Clinical features Acute onset with high-grade fever Rapid weight loss Macrophage and T-lymphocyte proliferation and activation may present with peripheral lymphadenopathy (35% of patients) and as enlargement of the liver and spleen (50% of patients) Clotting disorders may lead to bleeding, and liver involvement may manifest as jaundice and portal hypertension. Pulmonary infiltrates are found in 20 30% of patients, Skin abnormalities are noted in 20% of patients with the most common patterns being purpura and erythema. Of central nervous system manifestations, encephalopathy, meningitis, and seizures are the most commonly reported Patient usually died of multi-organ failure.
35 Table 1 HLH 2004 protocol The diagnosis of HLH can be established by fulfilling five of the eight criteria 1. Fever (> 7 days). 2. Splenomegaly. 3. Bicytopenia without marrow hypoplasia including (Hb < 9 g/dl, platelet count < 100 X 10^9/L, neutrophil < 1.10 X 10^9/L.) 4. Hypertriglyceridemia (3.0 mmol/l, fasting value) and/ or hypofibrinogenemia (< 1.5 g/l). 5. Hyperferritinemia (>500 ug/l; 1125 pmol/l). 6. Low/ absent natural killer cell activity. 7. Increased soluble CD25 levels (> 2400 IU/ml). 8. Histological criteria: Hemophagocytosis. Henter JI, Horne A, Arico M, et al. HLH-2004: diagnostic andtherapeutic guidelines for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.pediatr Blood Cancer 2007; 48:
36 Progress of our patient 1. Fever (T>38.5C) 2. pancytopenia, (Hb 8.3g/dL, Neutrophil 1.2x10^9/L, Platelet count 37x 10^9/L) 3. hyperferritinemia (>33000pmol/L) 4. hypofibrinogenemia (0.22g/L) 5. hemophagocytosis within the bone marrow A diagnosis of haemophagocytic syndrome was made.
37 Patient s bone marrow sample shows phagocytic cells with engulfed platelets
38 Evidence of haemophagocytosis on histological samples.
39 Secondary causes of haemophagocytic syndrome
40 Therapeutic options Supportive care 1. Transfusing fibrinogen, plasma etc 2. Identify underlying infection and treat accordingly Specific Measures for life threatening hyperinflammation and excessive cytokines 1. Steriod + etoposide (target monocyte) (useful in patients without systemic disease found) 2. Corticosteroid therapy ( SLE, still s disease) 3. TNF-alpha antagonist ( Still s disease) 4. Chemotherapy (lymphoproliferative disease) 5. IVIG (some success if used early in infection) 6. Haematopoietic cell transplant ( for familial cases with gene mutations)
41 Progress With the help of microbiology team, a special AFB blood culture on Lowenstein-Jensen medium was arranged Result came back 2 weeks later: Positive for acid fast bacilli Gallium scan also arranged for PUO
42 Gallium scan of madam Ng
43 Progess Gallium scintiscan report: 1. Tracer uptake in left hip region can be due to previous operation. However, more intense focal uptake at sub-trochanteric region is noted, possibility of infective focus cannot be excluded 2. Mild left chest infection and right lymphadenopathy 3. Non-specific uptake in right side of back of unknown significance,? Mild soft tissue inflammation
44 Chest X-ray on day 23 after admission showing the presence of small well defined nodules distributed over both lung fields
45 CT thorax showing the numerous tiny nodules distributed diffusely in both lungs with right side pleural effusions and right basal atelectasis
46 A 1.2 cm rim enhancing lesion within the right psoas muscle suggestive of a micro-abscess (arrow); an irregular destructive lesion is noted over the left side of fifth lumbar vertebral body (arrow-head)
47 A rim enhancing collection measures 4.7 X 3.9 X 8 cm (transverse diameter, antero-posterior distance, circumference) is noted over the lateral aspect of left hip joint and left proximal femur without any evidence of intra-articular extension
48 Progress Bronchoscopy shwoed copious sputum over bilateral bronchial tree, slightly inflammed mucosa over entry to left bronchioles. Bronchoalveolar lavage showed a positive result of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis but negative for detection of Pneumocystis jiroveci, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV).
49 Progress Subsequently blood culture, sputum and early morning urine culture all grew acid fast bacilli. Anti-tuberculous treatment including Isoniazid, Ethambutol and Parazinamide were started on day 36 after admission. Rifampicin was added on Day 49 after cytopenia resolved
50 Progress Ultrasound guided drainage of the abscess attempted but could only collect a few ml of blood stained fluid. Microbiological investigation reviewed negative gram smear, aerobic culture, anaerobic culture and TB PCR. Orthopedic surgeon was consulted on the left hip condition and L5 infective lesion. Suggested for continue anti-tb treatment and for serial monitoring as there was no focal neurology for the time being
51 Overall diagnosis: Disseminated tuberculosis (lung, bone, urine, blood) with secondary haemophagocytic syndrome
52 Progress The patient remained afebrile after commencement of treatment; cell count and clotting profiles gradually improved Lumber puncture also performed and showed no evidence TB meningitis
53 Complete blood count
54 Progress Patient s appetite was gradually improving Transferred to TB and Chest Unit (GH)for further titration of anti-tb treatment as derranged liver function Suffered from severe de-conditioning Will review by geriatric team and consider takeover for rehabilitation later
55 Literature review total 51 cases reported (search through PUBMED). Male to female ratio is 1.22 The average age of onset was 47.4 years old. 56% would have underlying disease that predispose to disseminated tuberculosis. Overall survival rate is 53%. (mortality of 47%) The mortality would be of 100% if no anti-tuberculous treatment were instituted. For those who received anti-tuberculous treatment (with or without immunotherapy), the survival is 66% (mortality of 34%). If only anti-tuberculous treatment is instituted, the survival is of 87.5%. If both anti-tuberculous and immunotherapy were prescribed, the survival is of 60%. If only immunotherapy was prescribed (only one case), the mortality is 100%.
56 Clinical features of patients with tuberculosis associated haemophagocytic syndrome
57 Clinical features of patients with tuberculosis associated haemophagocytic syndrome
58 Clinical features of patients with tuberculosis associated haemophagocytic syndrome
59 Clinical features of patients with tuberculosis associated haemophagocytic syndrome
60 Geriatric point of view Total 14 patients (27.5%) were over the age of 65 years old. Male to female ratio is 1:1. 93% has presented with disseminated tuberculosis 60% does not have underlying predisposing conditions. 40% has predisposing conditions including 2 with cancer and 4 patients with chronic renal failure
61 Asian and Hong Kong data There were 12 patients from the Asian countries. Male to female ratio is 1:1. 50% of the patients do not have underlying contributing factors to tuberculosis. Overall the mortality is 73% There were 3 patients previously reported in Hong Kong. All of them had underlying contributing factors, namely NPC, SLE and sacroidosis 2 of them received treatment and one of them did not. The mortality is 100%. Early diagnosis is essential for survival, consider the possibility of disseminated tuberculosis in elderly patient with hemophagocytic syndrome
