PURPOSE: T cell-Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (T cell-EBV-HLH) is prevalent in East Asia and has poor prognosis. Understanding of this disease is limited, and literature regarding prevalence in North America is scarce. Herein, we summarize our experience. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of T cell-EBV-HLH patients admitted to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (GA, USA) from 2010 to 2020 was conducted. Additional immune studies were completed in a subset of patients. RESULTS: We report 15 patients (10 months-19 years of age) diagnosed with T cell-EBV-HLH. Nine patients were Hispanic, and the majority did not have primary HLH (p-HLH) gene defects. Soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels in T cell-EBV-HLH were significantly higher than other forms of secondary-HLH but comparable to p-HLH, and it correlated with disease severity at presentation. Natural killer cell function was decreased in most patients despite a negative workup for p-HLH. Depending on disease severity, initial therapy included dexamethasone or dexamethasone and etoposide. Refractory patients were managed with blended regimens that included one or more of the following therapies: combination chemotherapy, alemtuzumab, emapalumab, and nivolumab. Rituximab did not appreciably decrease EBV viremia in most patients. Non-critically ill patients responded well to immunosuppressive therapy and are long-term survivors without undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Alemtuzumab resulted in inflammation flare in two of the three patients. Three patients underwent allogeneic HSCT, with disease relapse noted in one. At a median follow-up of 3 years, 10 of the 15 patients are alive. CONCLUSION: T cell-EBV-HLH occurs in the USA among the non-Asian populations, especially in those who are Hispanic.
