Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of adult secondary hemophagocytic syndrome(sHLH)and analyze the changes and significance of TH17/Treg cells and lymphocyte subsets,providing favorable references for clinical work.Methods 82 a-dult sHLH patients admitted to our hospital from April 2021 to March 2023 were selected.On the second day of admission,we observed their clinical characteristics and detected the levels of TH17/Treg cells(TH17,Treg,TH17/Treg)and lymphocyte subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD19+,CD16+CD56+).The patients were given the HLH-2004 treatment regimen and followed up for 6 months.Ac-cording to the treatment results,they were divided into the survival group(n=57)and fatality group(n=25).The levels of TH17/Treg cells and lymphocyte subsets on the second day of admission between the two groups were compared.The correlation between TH17/Treg cells and lymphocyte subsets and the value of TH17/Treg cells in evaluating the fatality of adult sHLH patients were ana-lyzed.Results All 82 adult sHLH patients had elevated serum beta-2 microglobulin and ferritin levels,and more than 90%of patients had clinical characteristics such as persistent irregular high fever,serous cavity effusion,decreased blood cells,and liver function dam-age.The levels of TH17,TH17/Treg,CD3+,and CD8+T cells on the second day of admission,1 month,2 months,and 3 months after treatment in the survival group were significantly lower than those in the fatality group(P<0.05),while the levels of Treg,CD4+,and CD16+CD56+lymphocytes were the opposite(P<0.05).The area under the reciever operating characteristics curve(AUCROC)of TH17/Treg cells combined with lymphocyte subsets in predicting the fatality of adult sHLH patients was 0.853(95%CI:0.758-0.922),which was higher than that of each individual indicator(P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical characteristics of adult sHLH are complex and diverse,with significant immune dysfunction of TH17/Treg and lymphocyte subsets.The TH17/Treg cells combined with lympho-cyte subsets have high efficacy in predicting the prognosis of adult sHLH patients.
