Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients who meet the diagnostic criteria of EBV-HLH or CAEBV are confirmed to be mainly infected with B lymphocytes after the detection of EBV lymphocyte subsets. EBV-HLH diagnostic criteria: Meet hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)-04 diagnostic criteria; EBV-DNA in peripheral blood or EBER in tissue were positive, patients were diagnosed with EBV associated HLH (EBV-HLH).CAEBV diagnostic criteria: (1) persistent or recurrent infectious mononucleosis-like symptoms persisting for more than 3 months; (2) EBV-DNA quantitative increase in peripheral blood or tissue lesions; (3) exclusion of other possible Diagnosis, such as primary Epstein-Barr virus infection (infectious mononucleosis), autoimmune disease, congenital immunodeficiency, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or other underlying conditions requiring immunosuppressive therapy or underlying immunosuppression
  • Before the start of the study, total bilirubin ≤10 times the upper limit of normal, serum creatinine ≤1.5 times the normal value; fibrinogen can be corrected to ≥0.6g/L after infusion.
  • Serum HIV antigen or antibody negative.
  • HCV antibody negative, or HCV antibody positive, but HCV RNA negative.
  • HBV surface antigen and HBV core antibody are both negative. If any of the above is positive, peripheral blood hepatitis B virus DNA titer detection is required, and the number of copies less than 1×103 copies/ml can be included in the group.
  • LVEF ≥ 50% by cardiac echocardiography.
  • Women of childbearing age must be confirmed by a pregnancy test that they are not pregnant, and are willing to take effective contraceptive measures during the test period and within ≥ 12 months after the last dose. Women during pregnancy and lactation cannot participate. Contraceptive measures should be taken during the test period and within ≥3 months after the last dose.
  • Informed consent obtained. -

  • Pregnant or lactating women and patients of childbearing age who refused to take appropriate contraceptive measures during this trial.
  • Those who are allergic to rituximab ingredients or have more severe allergic constitution;
  • Severe hypogammaglobulinemia.
  • Active massive hemorrhage of internal organs (including gastrointestinal hemorrhage, alveolar hemorrhage, intracranial hemorrhage, etc.);
  • Uncontrolled active infection (including lung infection, intestinal infection, etc.);
  • HBV surface antigen and/or HBV core antibody are positive, and the peripheral blood hepatitis B virus DNA test confirms the existence of active hepatitis B patients.
  • Severe mental illness;
  • Patients who were not compliant during the trial and/or follow-up period.
  • Concurrently participate in other clinical investigators.
