Abstract
Very rarely, patients with X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome type 1 present central nervous system vasculitis. We report a patient carrying a SH2D1A mutation that, after treatment for lymphoma developed fatal CNS vasculitis. He lacked signs of ongoing EBV infection. We propose that impaired T cell homeostasis caused by SAP-deficiency facilitates aberrant CD8 T cell activation against vascular antigens promoting clinical manifestations.
