Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a serious immune disorder. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the most common trigger of secondary HLH. T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement is detectable in half of patients with EBV-associated HLH using Southern blotting and conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses. However, its clinical significance is unclear. The impact of TCR gene clonality on the outcome of patients with EBV-HLH should be evaluated using more sensitive methods. In this study, we used BIOMED-2 multiplex PCR and GeneScan analysis to evaluate TCR gene rearrangement in childhood EBV-HLH.
