Abstract
Patients with hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome (HSES) have a high early mortality rate, which may be caused by a 'cytokine storm'. However, there is little information on how cytokines and chemokines change over time in these patients. We aimed to describe the characteristics of HSES by examining changes in serum biomarker levels over time. Six patients with HSES were included. We retrospectively evaluated their clinical course and imaging/laboratory data. We measured serum levels of multiple cytokines [interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, interferon-gamma, and tumor necrosis factor alpha], chemokines (IL-8, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interferon-inducible protein-10), and growth and differentiation factor (GDF)-15. The highest cytokine and chemokine levels were noted in the first 24 h, and decreased thereafter. The GDF-15 level was markedly high. Cytokine, chemokine, and GDF-15 levels were significantly higher in patients with HSES than in controls in the first 24 h, except for IL-2 and IL-4. Patients with HSES have high inflammatory cytokine and chemokine levels, a high GDF-15 level in the first 24 h, and high lactate levels. Our study provides new insights on the pathophysiology of HSES, a detailed clinical picture of patients with HSES, and potential biomarkers.

Hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome--the markers for an early HSES diagnosis. BMC Pediatr 2008; 8:43.

Abstract
Background The hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome (HSES) is a devastating disease that affects young children. The outcomes of HSES patients are often fatal or manifesting severe neurological sequelae. We reviewed the markers for an early diagnosis of HSES. Methods We examined the clinical, biological and radiological findings of 8 patients (4 months to 9 years old) who met the HSES criteria. Results Although cerebral edema, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), and multiple organ failure were seen in all 8 cases during their clinical courses, brain computed tomography (CT) scans showed normal or only slight edema in 5 patients upon admission. All 8 patients had normal platelet counts, and none were in shock. However, they all had severe metabolic acidosis, which persisted even after 3 hours (median base excess (BE), -7.6 mmol/L). And at 6 hours after admission (BE, -5.7 mmol/L) they required mechanical ventilation. Within 12 hours after admission, fluid resuscitation and vasopressor infusion for hypotension was required. Seven of the patients had elevated liver enzymes and creatine kinase (CK) upon admission. Twenty-four hours after admission, all 8 patients needed vasopressor infusion to maintain blood pressure. Conclusion CT scan, platelet count, hemoglobin level and renal function upon admission are not useful for an early diagnosis of HSES. However, the elevated liver enzymes and CK upon admission, hypotension in the early stage after admission with refractory acid-base disturbance to fluid resuscitation and vasopressor infusion are useful markers for an early HSES diagnosis and helpful to indicate starting intensive neurological treatment.
