Possible role of human herpesvirus 8 in the lymphoproliferative disorders in common variable immunodeficiency

Abstract: Patients who have common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and granulomatous/lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) are at high risk for early mortality and B cell lymphomas. Infection with human herpes virus type 8 (HHV8), a B cell lymphotrophic virus, is linked to lymphoproliferative disorders in people who have secondary immunodeficiencies. Therefore, we determined the prevalence of HHV8 infection in CVID patients with GLILD. Genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells was screened by… Show more

“…In light of our findings, it is notable that KSHV infection is also associated with a granulomatous/lymphocytic interstitial lung disease in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (47). Here, as in infected wood mice, virus antigenpositive lymphocytes are present in interstitial foci within the lung.…”

“…17 In CVID patients with granulomatous disease, an underlying viral infection has been suggested by several groups. 18,19 In a small study, human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) 19 infection was detectable in 6 of 9 patients with granulomatous and or interstitial lung disease, whereas the virus was found in only 1 CVID patient without apparent granulomatous disease and was undetectable in all controls. Unfortunately, no data are available on the B-cell phenotype of these patients.…”

“…KSHV is believed to be the etiological agent of several human cancers, including KS (1, 2), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) or body cavity based lymphoma (3), and multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) (4,5). Additionally, there have been reports of KSHV-associated solid lymphomas in HIV-positive and -negative patients as well as KSHV-associated lymphomas in patients with primary immune deficiencies, such as common variable immune deficiency (6,7). Similar to other members of the gammaherpesvirus family, KSHV establishes a predominantly latent infection in host cells after primary infection (8).…”
