PG - 1170-1178 LID - 10.1111/1346-8138.15059 [doi] AB - The prevalence of atopy was investigated in 20 patients with Sezary syndrome (SS), 20 patients with plaque phase mycosis fungoides (MF), 9 patients with primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (pcMZL) and 8 patients with primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (pcFCL) with the Phadiatop multi-allergen test. The relationship among serologic atopy, IgE reactivity against Staphyloccocal enterotoxin superantigens, and serum total IgE (IgE-t) levels and their prognostic implications in SS was investigated. Phadiatop test was positive in 45%, 15%, 33% and 0% of samples of SS, MF, pcMZL and pcFCL, respectively. IgE-t levels were also increased in SS, pcMZL and marginally MF. No correlation was found with patients' history of atopic disorders. Staphylococcal superantigen-specific IgE >/= 0.35 kUa/L, most often against toxic shock syndrome toxin-1, was detected in 40% of Sezary samples followed by MF (20%). In the absence of serologic atopy (negative Phadiatop test), IgE-t levels for patients with SS and MF were not significantly higher than controls whereas the levels for pcMZL remained high. Furthermore, even with a negative Phadiatop test, IgE-t values were higher in sera of patients with SSAg-IgE >/= 0.35 kUa/L vis-a-vis < 0.35 kUa/L across all diagnostic categories including controls albeit the difference was statistically significant only for SS. The presence of specific IgE antibodies >/= 0.35 kUa/L, IgE-t > 122 kU/L or eosinophils > 500/microL had no impact on survival of patients with SS. These results indicate that a pathogenic link may exist between an atopic diathesis and development of SS and possibly pcMZL. CI - (c) 2019 Japanese Dermatological Association.
