Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is characterized by non-malignant lymphoproliferation and autoimmunity, with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations (OMIM 601859). Typical features include enlarged spleen and lymph nodes and autoimmune cytopenia. We describe a family with ALPS in which two cousins independently presented to their physicians with infection and discuss the therapeutic potential of sirolimus.

Abstract

Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is characterized by non-malignant lymphoproliferation and autoimmunity, with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations (OMIM 601859). Typical features include enlarged spleen and lymph nodes and autoimmune cytopenia. We describe a family with ALPS in which two cousins independently presented to their physicians with infection and discuss the therapeutic potential of sirolimus.
