Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Patients with primary hypogammaglobulinemia have been reported to have encephalopathy, but progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) due to JC virus reactivation is a rare cause.
OBJECTIVE: To provide the clinical details and case discussion of a patient diagnosed as having common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) who has progressive neurodegenerative symptoms and was found to have PML and an abnormal CD8+ T-cell subset distribution.
METHODS: A detailed case report providing the patient's immunodeficiency history, diagnostic evaluation, and medical management and a review of related literature.
RESULTS: Before his neurodegenerative illness, the patient was found to have hypogammaglobulinemia, poor specific antibody responses, low circulating B-cell levels, and abnormal delayed-type hypersensitivity responses; there was no Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) mutation. The PML was diagnosed using brain biopsy and was confirmed using a DNA probe specific for JC virus. Peripheral blood flow cytometry at the time of PML diagnosis revealed an accumulation of naive CD8+ T cells (CD3+CD8+CD45RA+) and a deficiency of memory CD8+ T-cell subsets (CD3+CD8+CD45RA- or CD3+CD8+CD45RO+). Despite aggressive treatment with interleukin 2, interferon-gamma, and intravenous cidofovir, the patient died.
CONCLUSIONS: JC virus infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the patient with CVID and signs and symptoms of encephalopathy. The role of this patient's abnormal CD8' T-cell subset distribution in the development or control of this rare infection is worthy of consideration and has encouraged us to enumerate naive and memory CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets in patients diagnosed as having CVID, even in the absence of neurodegenerative symptoms.
