Abstract

Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency caused by defects in proteins participating in the Fas-mediated apoptosis pathway, manifesting with benign and malignant lymphoproliferation and immune cytopenias. Sirolimus is an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR-I), it regulates cell growth and proliferation. In this article, we describe the efficacy and safety of sirolimus treatment in a group of 22 patients with ALPS. We demonstrate the effectiveness of therapy, both in the usual dose of 2–3 mg/m2, and in reduced dose of 1–2 mg/m2. Treatment with sirolimus not only leads to the resolution of the symptoms of lymphoproliferation and cytopenias, but also to the normalization of biomarkers, for example, the vitamin B12 level and double negative T-lymphocytes.
