When treating patients with EBV encephalitis, the possibility of XLP should be considered. Once the diagnosis of XLP is made, aggressive treatment such as rituximab, and other immunosuppressive agents are desired for rapid transition to HSCT.

X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is a rare primary immunodeficiency with susceptibility and vulnerability to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Most patients were diagnosed in early childhood and do not survive into adulthood. Here we reported an adult-onset XLP patient presenting with fever, dyspnea, and pulmonary nodules, mimicking respiratory infection at disease onset.

Article Synopsis
  • Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects mostly boys and causes issues like eczema, low platelet counts, and a weak immune system.
  • A 7-month-old baby showed symptoms like slow growth, mild eczema, and frequent colds, but his platelet levels kept dropping even with treatment.
  • Finally, genetic tests confirmed he had WAS, which is linked to a mutation on the X chromosome.

X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP1) results from gene mutations affecting the SLAM-associated protein (SAP). A regulated lentiviral vector (LV), XLP-SMART LV, designed to express SAP at therapeutic levels in T, NK, and NKT cells, is crucial for effective gene therapy. We experimentally identified 34 genomic regulatory elements of the gene and designed XLP-SMART LVs to emulate the lineage and stage-specific control of SAP.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic factors of haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome. Seven children with X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome diagnosed by XIAP gene analysis were enrolled. The conditioning regimens were tolerated in all seven patients, and the median time of neutrophil engraftment was 10 days (8-13 days), and that of platelet engraftment was 21 days (14-24 days).
