Severe Platelet Transfusion Refractoriness in Association with Antibodies Against CD36.

Platelet-transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is common in patients with hematological malignancies. The etiology of immune PTR is typically human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies (Abs) from pregnancy or previous transfusion. Herein, we report PTR in the setting of induction chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) from Abs against CD36/glycoprotein (GP)IV. A 66-year-old African American woman presented with anemia and thrombocytopenia. She was found to have transfusion-dependent AML, and a 7 + 3 regimen (7 days of standard-dose cytarabine and 3 days of an anthracycline antibiotic or an anthracenedione, most often daunorubicin) was initiated. The patient developed profound thrombocytopenia, with platelet nadir of 0 by day 13. The results of HLA antibody screening were negative. However, the results of a screening test for platelet-specific antibodies screen showed Abs against cluster of differentiation (CD)36. The platelets of the patient lacked expression of CD36, and DNA analysis showed mutations in the CD36 gene. HLA Ab-mediated PTR is common in patients with hematological malignancies. However, once HLA Abs are excluded, other less-frequent Abs should be considered, particularly in patient populations of Asian, African, or Middle Eastern descent.
