Amaç: Bu çalışmada
değişik maligniteleri olan non-Hodgkin lenfoma, Hodgkin lenfoma, akut lenfositer lösemi, akut myelositer
lösemi, multipl myelom, kronik myelositer lösemi hastalarında HHV-8 IgM ve IgG pozitiflik
oranlarının karşılaştırılması amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 50 maligniteli hasta
ile 8 sağlıklı birey olmak üzere 58 kişi dahil edildi. Hasta ve kontrol
grubunda HHV-8 IgM ve HHV-8 IgG antikorları indirekt floresan antikor
yöntemiyle araştırıldı. İstatistiksel analizler SPSS programı kullanılarak
yapıldı. İstatistiksel değerlendirmede Fisher’in
Kesin Ki-kare testleri kullanıldı. İstatistiksel olarak p<0,05 değerleri
anlamlı kabul edildi.
Bulgular:
Maligniteli hastalarda HHV-8 IgM antikor
pozitifliği %20 (10/50) oranında saptanırken, kontrol grubunda HHV-8 IgM pozitifliği saptanmadı. Maligniteli
hastalarda HHV-8 IgG pozitifliği %56 (28/50) oranında saptanırken, kontrol
grubunda ise %50 (10/16) oranında
saptandı. HHV-8 IgM pozitifliği hasta grubunda kontrol grubuna göre
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı oranda yüksekti. HHV-8 Ig M pozitifliği en fazla AML saptanırken, HHV-8 IgG pozitifliği en
fazla MM hastalarında saptandı.
Sonuç:
Maligniteli hastalarda saptadığımız
HHV-8 IgM ve HHV-8 IgG pozitiflikleri reaktivasyon veya reenfeksiyonla
ilişkili olabilir. HHV-8 virüsünün maligniteli hastalardaki klinik öneminin
belirlenebilmesi için farklı maligniteleri olan daha fazla sayıda olguyla
yapılacak ve virüs DNA’sının da moleküler yöntemlerle (PZR vb.) araştırıldığı
başka çalışmalara gereksinim olduğu görüşündeyiz.
Objective:
The purpose of this study is to compare the HHV-8 IgM and IgG positivity rates
in patients with different malignancies, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma,
Hodgkin’s lymphoma, acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myelocytic leukemia,
multiple myeloma, and chronic myelocytic leukemia.
Material and Method: Totally
58 individuals, fifty patients with malignancies and eight healthy individuals
were included in the study. Indirect fluorescent antibody
method was used to analyze HHV-8 IgM and HHV-8 IgG antibodies in patient and
control groups. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS software.
Fischer’s Exact Ki-kare test and the Mann-Whitney U-test were used in the
statistical evaluation. P values ≤0.05 were
considered statistically significant.
Findings: In
the patient group, 20% of the patients (10/50) were HHV-8 IgM positive. On the
other hand, none of the individuals in the control group were HHV-8 IgM
positive. In the patient group, 56% of the patients (28/50) were HHV-8 IgG
positive, whereas 50% of the individuals (8/16) in the control group were HHV-8
IgG positive. HHV-8 IgM positivity was significantly higher in the patient
group when compared to the control group. The highest level of HHV-8 IgM
positivity was detected in AML patients, whereas MM patients had the highest
level of HHV-8 IgG positivity.
Conclusion:
HHV-8 IgM and HHV-8 IgG positivity in patients with malignancies can be
associated with reactivation or reinfection. Further clinical studies should be
carried out on higher number of patients with different malignancies to
identify the clinical significance of HHV-8 in these patients.
