Background

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is the prototype of primary humoral immunodeficiencies. Long-term follow-up studies regarding disease-related complications and outcome are scarce.

Objective

Our aim was to describe the natural history of XLA.

Methods

A nationwide multicenter study based on the Italian Primary Immunodeficiency Network registry was established in 2000 in Italy. Affected patients were enrolled by documenting centers, and the patients’ laboratory, clinical, and imaging data were recorded on an annual base.

Results

Data on the patients (N = 168) were derived from a cumulative follow-up of 1370 patient-years, with a mean follow-up of 8.35 years per patient. The mean age at diagnosis decreased after establishment of the Italian Primary Immunodeficiency Network registry (84 months before vs 23 months after). Respiratory, skin, and gastrointestinal manifestations were the most frequent clinical symptoms at diagnosis and during long-term follow-up. Regular immunoglobulin replacement treatment reduced the incidence of invasive infections. Affected patients developed chronic lung disease over time (47% after 40 years of follow-up) in the presence of chronic sinusitis (84%). Malignancies were documented in a minority of cases (3.7%). Overall survival for affected patients was significantly reduced when compared with that for the healthy male Italian population, and it further deteriorated in the presence of chronic lung disease.

Conclusions

This is the first detailed long-term follow-up study for patients with XLA, revealing that although immunoglobulin replacement treatment reduces the incidence of invasive infections, it does not appear to influence the development of chronic lung disease. The overall survival of affected patients is reduced. Further studies are warranted to improve patients’ clinical management and increase awareness among physicians.

168例X连锁性丙种球蛋白血症的长期随访显示发病率和死亡率增加。

背景

X连锁的丙种球蛋白血症(XLA)是原发性体液免疫缺陷的原型。缺乏有关疾病相关并发症和结果的长期随访研究。

目的

我们的目的是描述XLA的自然历史。

方法

2000年在意大利建立了基于意大利主要免疫缺陷网络注册中心的全国性多中心研究。记录中心招募了患病患者,并每年记录患者的实验室,临床和影像数据。

结果

有关患者的数据(N = 168)来自对1370个患者-年的累计随访,平均每个患者8.35年的随访。建立意大利主要免疫缺陷网络注册机构后,诊断时的平均年龄有所下降(之前的84个月对之后的23个月)。呼吸,皮肤和胃肠道表现是诊断和长期随访中最常见的临床症状。定期进行免疫球蛋白替代治疗可减少侵入性感染的发生。在存在慢性鼻窦炎(84%)的情况下,患病患者随着时间的流逝发展为慢性肺部疾病(在40年的随访中占47%)。少数病例(3.7%)记录了恶性肿瘤。与健康的意大利男性人群相比,受影响患者的总体生存率显着降低,

结论

这是针对XLA患者的首项详细的长期随访研究,揭示了尽管免疫球蛋白替代治疗可降低侵袭性感染的发生率,但似乎并未影响慢性肺病的发展。受影响患者的总生存期降低。有必要进行进一步的研究以改善患者的临床管理并提高医生的认识。
