Platelet-associated IgG, IgM, and C3 in paediatric infectious disease

Elevated amounts of platelet-associated serum proteins (PASP) can be detected in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and are considered to be of patho-aetiological importance especially in the case of acute ITP, that commonly follows acute febrile illnesses. Using a micro-enzyme-linked immunoassay we examined PASP (IgG, IgM, and C3) in 120 paediatric patients with acute fever caused by viral (n = 45), bacterial (n = 48), or non-detectable agents (n = 27) and compared those values to the levels of PASP of an own paediatric control group (n = 21). Two of the patients presented mild temporary thrombocytopenia without clinical signs in the course of their infectious disease. While having normal platelet counts, the majority of our patients (69.2%) however, showed increased levels of PASP (IgG, IgM, C3; single or combined). Significant differences of PASP levels by discrimination of viral and bacterial diseases could not be demonstrated. Elevated platelet-associated complement was of special interest, because - in the absence of low platelet counts due to platelet-specific antibodies - it must be regarded as an indicator for immune complexes (IC) binding to thrombocyte surface IgG Fc-receptors. Thus we suggest that platelets play a considerable role in the elimination of circulating IC.     

Viral infections in the mouth

Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) and Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) are commonly encountered in the HIV-infected patient. A unique feature of OHL is non-cytolytic high level of replication of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) in the glossal epithelium. The expression of viral-encoded anti-apoptotic proteins concomitant to replicative proteins probably underlies this phenomenon. The question of whether OHL arises from activation of EBV latent in the tongue, or from superinfection by endogenous EBV shed via non-glossal sites or by exogenous EBV remains unresolved. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) is now seen as necessary but not sufficient cause of KS. Expression of HHV8-encoded oncogenic proteins in endothelial cells probably explains the aberrant proliferation of these cells in KS lesions. Studies into why KS is so commonly observed at the palate in HIV-infected patients may provide important clues to its pathogenesis.
