[Clinical outcomes of 2 pediatric patients with Gaucher's disease in enzyme replacement therapy for 9 years].

We report two cases of type 1 Gaucher's disease in childhood and their outcomes after 9 years of enzyme replacement therapy. The first case concerns a 6-year-old boy who was diagnosed with Gaucher's disease after developing petechial exanthema, thrombocytopenia, anemia and hepatosplenomegaly, coinciding with chickenpox. The second case involves a 9-year-old girl who was referred to our unit. She had hepatosplenomegaly since 4-month-old and subsequently developed thrombocytopenia. Both patients have the N370S/L444P mutation. Enzyme replacement therapy was started with 60 U/kg imiglucerase every 2 weeks at the age of 6 and 9 years, respectively. In both patients, the therapeutic goals were achieved and maintained throughout treatment with a dose of 30 U/kg.
