Abstract

Introduction Von Willebrand Disease is a common inherited haemorrhagic disorder due to a deficiency of Von Willebrand Factor (VWF). In case of surgical procedures in patients who are not responsive or have contraindications to desmopressin, replacement therapy with VWF concentrates is indicated. Until recently, only plasma-derived VWF concentrates were available. A new recombinant VWF (rVWF) concentrate that contains no Factor VIII (FVIII) but a high amount of high molecular weight VWF multimers has been available in France since 2018. Aim Describe real-world experience of using rVWF in surgical procedures. Methods Sixty-three surgeries for 55 patients were retrospectively analysed in 7 French haemostasis centres. Results During minor surgeries, the median (range) number of infusions was 1 (1-8) with a preoperative loading dose of 35 (19-56) rVWF IU/kg and a total median dose of 37.5 IU (12-288). During major surgeries, the median (range) number of infusions was only 3 (1-14) with a median preoperative loading dose of 36 IU (12-51) rVWF IU/kg, and a total median dose of 108 IU (22-340) rVWF IU/kg. The overall clinical efficacy was qualified as excellent/good in 61 of the procedures (97%), moderate in 1 (1.5%) and poor in 1 (1.5%). There was no accumulation of VWF or FVIII during postoperative monitoring. No thromboembolic events, anti-VWF antibodies or adverse events were reported. Conclusion This French 'real-world' experience shows that a few infusions and low doses of rVWF provided effective prevention of bleeding in major and minor surgeries in inherited VWD, with no clinically significant safety concerns.

Abstract

We aimed to study the prognostic impact of the mutational landscape in primary and secondary myelofibrosis. The study included 479 patients with myelofibrosis recruited from 24 French Intergroup of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (FIM) centers. The molecular landscape was studied by high-throughput sequencing of 77 genes. A Bayesian network allowed the identification of genomic groups whose prognostic impact was studied in a multistate model considering transitions from the 3 conditions: myelofibrosis, acute leukemia, and death. Results were validated using an independent, previously published cohort (n = 276). Four genomic groups were identified: patients with TP53 mutation; patients with ≥1 mutation in EZH2, CBL, U2AF1, SRSF2, IDH1, IDH2, NRAS, or KRAS (high-risk group); patients with ASXL1-only mutation (ie, no associated mutation in TP53 or high-risk genes); and other patients. A multistate model found that both TP53 and high-risk groups were associated with leukemic transformation (hazard ratios [HRs] [95% confidence interval], 8.68 [3.32-22.73] and 3.24 [1.58-6.64], respectively) and death from myelofibrosis (HRs, 3.03 [1.66-5.56] and 1.77 [1.18-2.67], respectively). ASXL1-only mutations had no prognostic value that was confirmed in the validation cohort. However, ASXL1 mutations conferred a worse prognosis when associated with a mutation in TP53 or high-risk genes. This study provides a new definition of adverse mutations in myelofibrosis with the addition of TP53, CBL, NRAS, KRAS, and U2AF1 to previously described genes. Furthermore, our results argue that ASXL1 mutations alone cannot be considered detrimental.

Abstract

International audience; Background: Pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period expose haemophilia carriers, as well as their potentially affected neonates to a high risk of haemorrhagic complications.Objectives: To describe bleeding complications in haemophilia carriers and their newborns throughout pregnancy and postpartum and to identify potential factors increasing the risk of bleeding in this population.Patients/methods: The ECHANGE multicentre observational cohort study was conducted between January 2014 and February 2019 using the BERHLINGO database comprised of patients from seven French haemophilia centres.Results: During the 5 years study period, a total of 104 haemophilia carriers and 119 neonates were included, representing 124 pregnancies and 117 deliveries. Thirty-five (30%) bleeding events were observed, most of them (83%) occurred during the postpartum period, and 37% were reported during the secondary postpartum. Neuraxial anaesthesia was not complicated by spinal haematoma. Three (2.5%) neonates experienced cerebral bleeding. Caesarean section was associated with an increased risk of maternal bleeding in primary and secondary postpartum periods. Basal factor level

Abstract

We report here a case of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with IgA paraproteinemia and a case of concomitant Waldenström macroglobulinemia and monoclonal gammapathy of unknown significance. These rare cases show that the isotype of a monoclonal immunoglobulin does not allow to foresee every time the underlying pathology. Clinical data and medical imaging are essential. From a biological point of view, additional analysis such as immunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular biology are required in addition to the cytological features in order to make an accurate differential diagnosis between lymphoid and plasma cell malignancy.

Abstract

A 71 year-old woman is admitted to Le Mans hospital center for management of a chronic skin lesion. She has no personal nor familial bleeding history and does not take any medication. In peripheral blood collected with EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra-acetate), the platelet count is elevated and the blood film shows uniformly grey platelets. In sodium citrate-collected blood, platelets show no abnormality. We describe an EDTA-related artifact that is not to be mistaken for grey platelet syndrome.

Abstract

In Europe, infection through the hepatitis E virus presents itself under the form of autochthone, sporadic cases with zoonotic transmission. The diagnosis is more frequent in the case of male subjects above 50, with a generally severe clinical presentation. Moreover, a transition to chronicity is described in the case of immunocompromised patients. In France and in the world, seroprevalence has not clearly been established yet. In the hospital of Le Mans, Sarthe, France, the serologic status regarding the hepatitis E virus was established between October 1(st) 2012 and April 3(rd) 2015 on a population of 299 patients who presented hypertransaminasaemia and negative serology regarding hepatitis A, B and C viruses. According to the Wantai(®) Assays technique, seroprevalence for IgG among this cohort was 26.1%, while 3.7% of patients presented acute hepatitis E and a positive IgM serology. Hepatitis E screening tests are indispensable in the context of acute hepatitis no A, no B, no C.
