disease

Castleman's disease is a syndrome consisting of giant lymph node
hyperplasia with plasma cell infiltration, fever, anemia,
hypergammaglobulinemia, and an increase in the plasma level of acute phase
proteins. It has been reported that clinical abnormalities disappear after
the resection of the affected lymph nodes, suggesting that products of
lymph nodes may cause such clinical abnormalities. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is
a cytokine inducing B-cell differentiation to immunoglobulin-producing
cells and regulating biosynthesis of acute phase proteins. This report
demonstrates that the germinal centers of hyperplastic lymph nodes of
patients with Castleman's disease produce large quantities of IL-6 without
any significant production of other cytokines. In a patient with a solitary
hyperplastic lymph node, clinical improvement and decrease in serum IL-6
were observed following surgical removal of the involved lymph node. There
was a correlation between serum IL-6 level, lymph node hyperplasia,
hypergammaglobulinemia, increased level of acute phase proteins, and
clinical abnormalities. The findings in this report indicate that the
generation of IL-6 by B cells in germinal centers of hyperplastic lymph
nodes of Castleman's disease may be the key element responsible for the
variety of clinical symptoms in this disease.
