Zusammenfassung
Eine aplastische Anämie kann im zeitlichen Zusammenhang mit einer Non-A-E-Hepatitis auftreten. Die meisten Fälle werden nach akutem Leberversagen bei Non-A-E-Hepatitis beschrieben. Die Behandlung erfolgt bei Kindern einheitlich nach einem Studienprotokoll der Gesellschaft für pädiatrische Onkologie und Hämatologie (GPOH) mittels Immunsuppression und/oder Knochenmarktransplantation (KMT). Wir beschreiben 6 unterschiedliche Verläufe einer solchen aplastischen Anämie nach Non-A-E-Hepatitis ohne Leberversagen. Bei 4 der 6 Kinder begann die Erkrankung mit einer akuten Gastroenteritis. Fünf von 6 Kindern sind gesund geworden, 2 allein unter Immunsuppression, 3 nach KMT. Ein Kind ist an den Komplikationen der KMT verstorben. Eine Steroidtherapie, die bei 2 Patienten im Vorfeld wegen der Hepatitis durchgeführt worden war, hat den Verlauf der aplastischen Anämie nicht verbessert. Die vorliegende Zusammenstellung unterstreicht die Notwendigkeit regelmäßiger Blutbildkontrollen nach Non-A-E-Hepatitis auch ohne Leberversagen und möchte für den bekannten Zusammenhang sensibilisieren. Häufig scheint eine Gastroenteritis vorauszugehen, was auf eine Infektion als Auslöser hinweisen kann.
Abstract
Aplastic anaemia can coincide with non-A-E hepatitis. Treatment follows a standardised study protocol of the German Society of Paediatric Oncology and Haematology (GPOH). Patients receive immunosuppression and/or bone marrow transplantation. We present six cases of aplastic anaemia after non-A-E hepatitis with different courses. In four of these children illness first presented with acute gastroenteritis. Five out of six children fully recovered, two of these with immunosuppression alone, three after bone marrow transplantation. One patient died due to complications of the bone marrow transplantation. In two patients steroid therapy was carried out to treat the hepatitis. This did not have any effect on the course of their aplastic anemia. We emphasise this common combination of aplastic anemia following non-A-E hepatitis. This overview underlines the necessity of regular blood testing after non-A-E hepatitis. Often gastroenteritis seems to precede illness thus perhaps indicating an infectious trigger.
