Popis: Background l -Asparaginase is essential in the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. If immunoglobulin G anti- l -asparaginase antibodies develop, they can lead to faster plasma clearance and reduced efficiency as well as to hypersensitivity reactions, in which immunoglobulin E can also participate. This study investigated the presence of immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin E anti- l -asparaginase antibodies and their clinical associations. Methods Under 16-year-old patients at diagnosis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia confirmed by flow cytometry and treated with a uniform l -asparaginase and chemotherapy protocol were studied. Immunoglobulin G anti- l -asparaginase antibodies were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Intradermal and prick skin testing was performed to establish the presence of specific immunoglobulin E anti- l -asparaginase antibodies in vivo . Statistical analysis was used to investigate associations of these antibodies with relevant clinical events and outcomes. Results Fifty-one children were studied with 42 (82.35%) having anti- l -asparaginase antibodies. In this group immunoglobulin G antibodies alone were documented in 10 (23.8%) compared to immunoglobulin E alone in 18 (42.8%) patients. Immunoglobulin G together with immunoglobulin E were simultaneously present in 14 patients. Children who produced exclusively immunoglobulin G or no antibodies had a lower event-free survival ( p -value = 0.024). Eighteen children (35.3%) relapsed with five of nine of this group who had negative skin tests suffering additional relapses (range: 2–4), compared to none of the nine children who relapsed who had positive skin tests ( p -value Conclusion Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and isolated immunoglobulin G anti- l -asparaginase antibodies had a higher relapse rate, whereas no additional relapses developed in children with immunoglobulin E anti- l -asparaginase antibodies after the first relapse.
