Product Information

The outlook for children with XLP1 is improving all the time, owing to better recognition of the condition and improved diagnostic testing so that treatment can be started as quickly as possible. Please note this is a generic GOSH information sheet so should not be used for the diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition. Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside bones and contains cells that produce white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Children often have an unremarkable childhood until primary-school age and exposure to the Epstein-Barr virus.

In affected individuals, the body cannot properly regulate an important type of white blood cell (lymphocytes) in response to a viral infection, usually the Epstein-Barr virus that causes glandular fever. biopsy surgical removal of a small sample of tissue for examination under a microscope for diagnostic purposes. XLP1 is caused by a mutation (change) in a gene named SH2D1A, which is important for producing a protein that regulates cells of the immune system, known as lymphocytes. New types of medicine are also being developed to treat HLH more effectively and with fewer side effects. This page has been produced jointly between PID UK, Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and the Great North Children’s Hospital.If lymphoproliferation is severe, giving immunosuppressant medications to dampen down (suppress) the immune system may be helpful. Natural Killer (NK) cells a type of lymphocyte particularly important in fighting viral infections and protecting against cancer. Blood tests are the main form of diagnosis and will be used to measure the levels of SAP present in the blood.

A female who has a mistake on one of her two X chromosomes also has a normal X chromosome, which compensates for the abnormal one. In many cases, XLP1 is an inherited condition, meaning it is passed on in families in the same way that physical characteristics, such as eye colour, are passed from parent to child. A needle is inserted through the skin of the back into the space between the bones that make up the spine. immunoglobulin replacement therapy administration of immunoglobulin purified from plasma to people with immune deficiency. Suppressing the immune system often involves courses of corticosteroids and chemotherapy medicines, usually given into a vein (intravenously) in hospital.There are five basic types of white blood cells: monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils. This appears to trigger the development of symptoms, although the number and severity of symptoms is variable. Bone marrow aspiration is a procedure that involves using a syringe to aspirate (‘suck out’) liquid bone marrow, usually from the hip bone.

Prenatal diagnosis is available for future pregnancies, provided that the faulty gene can be identified. Instead of fighting off the infection, some white blood cells (T-cells and macrophages) become over-activated, causing severe inflammation and damage to tissues, such as the liver, spleen and bone marrow. It is part of the herpes family of viruses and is passed on through contact with bodily fluids, including saliva.Some people affected by XLP1 are more likely to develop infections than normal and may benefit from regular (prophylactic) antibiotics and immunoglobulin replacement. If there are neurological symptoms, such as headache, vomiting, irritability, visual disturbances or seizures, a sample of cerebrospinal fluid may be taken by lumbar puncture.
