Article Synopsis
  • Hematological involvement (HI) is a serious condition associated with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), and is defined by low blood cell counts indicating potential life-threatening complications.
  • A study of 2,313 children with LCH revealed that about 331 developed HI, with a distinction between mild (MHI) and severe HI (SHI), each showing different health outcomes and survival rates over 10 years.
  • Recent advances in treatment have improved mortality rates, particularly with combination therapies and targeted treatments, sparking discussions about refining HI definitions to better inform treatment strategies.

Introduction: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) can be diagnosed using the 2012 criteria of the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) and, more recently, the 2019 criteria of the European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology (EULAR/ACR). Hematological involvement is scored differently by these classifications. Our objective was to compare both criteria in a cohort of children with autoimmune cytopenia (AIC)-associated SLE.

Objective: To describe treatments and outcomes of French children treated for relapsed/refractory anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK+ ALCL).

Methods: We conducted the analysis of a series of 75 French children treated for a first relapsed/refractory ALK+ ALCL between 1999 and 2017.

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) exhibit distinct clinical features and needs, defying categorization as either adults or children. Previous findings revealed a 50% risk of chronic disease at 12 months, yet the long-term course remains unclear. This study aimed to delineate the clinical and laboratory characteristics of AYAs with chronic primary ITP.

A growing number of patients presenting severe combined immunodeficiencies attributed to monoallelic RAC2 variants have been identified. The expression of the RHO GTPase RAC2 is restricted to the hematopoietic lineage. RAC2 variants have been described to cause immunodeficiencies associated with high frequency of infection, leukopenia, and autoinflammatory features.
