Peripheral neuropathy associated with common variable immunodeficiency

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGY, Issue 5 2000
A. J. Larner
We report a patient with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) who developed an axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy, a hitherto unreported association to our knowledge. These conditions may be linked at the pathogenetic level, since some CVID patients are prone to the development of autoimmune disease. [source]

Zimmermann,Laband syndrome with bilateral developmental cataract , a new association?

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PAEDIATRIC DENTISTRY, Issue 1 2004
N. Shah
Summary. An unusual case of Zimmermann,Laband syndrome in a young male child with an unreported association of bilateral developmental cataract is presented. The pathognomonic triad of gingival fibromatosis, aplastic or hypoplastic distal phalanges with absent nails, and enlargement of soft tissues of the face were obvious, besides the known moderate learning disability and mild hearing loss. The case is discussed in the light of relevant literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of early developmental cataracts in association with the Zimmermann,Laband syndrome. Besides detection and timely recognition of the syndrome to allow adequate dental care, ophthalmic screening at periodic intervals is merited to improve the overall quality of life for these patients.

Horseshoe lung and facio-auriculo-vertebral sequence: A previously unreported association

PEDIATRIC PULMONOLOGY, Issue 6 2006
Lisa D'Alessandro MD
Abstract We describe a case of horseshoe lung in an infant with facio-auriculo-vertebral (FAV) sequence that included mild hemifacial microsomia, ear anomalies, a missing left rib, left hemivertebrae (T2,T4), and complex congenital heart disease. Of the approximately 40 cases of horseshoe lung described since 1962, most are reported in association with scimitar syndrome, and only four reported cases were associated with left lung hypoplasia. None of these cases included malformations consistent with a diagnosis of FAV sequence. Pediatr Pulmonol. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source]

Acute pancreatic damage associated with convulsive status epilepticus: A report of three cases

PSYCHIATRY AND CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES, Issue 6 2001
Katsuhiko Ogawa
Abstract Three cases involving a previously unreported association of acute pancreatic damage following convulsive status epilepticus (SE) are presented. A review of literature failed to reveal a similar association between SE and acute pancreatic damage. As possible pathophysiological mechanisms of this so far unknown sequel of SE, increased intraduodenal pressure during SE leading to the reflux of the duodenal contents into the pancreatic duct, along with altered metabolism of oxygen-derived free radicals during a prolonged seizure with hypoxia and ischemia resulting in acinar cell injury are suggested. We believe that SE should be considered as an additional risk factor of acute pancreatitis and that pancreatic enzymes should be monitored in patients who have prolonged seizures. [source]

Specific human leukocyte antigen class I and II alleles associated with hepatitis C virus viremia,,§

HEPATOLOGY, Issue 5 2010
Mark H. Kuniholm
Studies of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and their relation with hepatitis C virus (HCV) viremia have had conflicting results. However, these studies have varied in size and methods, and few large studies assessed HLA class I alleles. Only one study conducted high-resolution class I genotyping. The current investigation therefore involved high-resolution HLA class I and II genotyping of a large multiracial cohort of U.S. women with a high prevalence of HCV and HIV. Our primary analyses evaluated associations between 12 HLA alleles identified through a critical review of the literature and HCV viremia in 758 HCV-seropositive women. Other alleles with >5% prevalence were also assessed; previously unreported associations were corrected for multiple comparisons. DRB1*0101 (prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.7; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1,2.6), B*5701 (PR=2.0; 95% CI = 1.0,3.1), B*5703 (PR = 1.7; 95% CI = 1.0,2.5), and Cw*0102 (PR = 1.9; 95% CI = 1.0,3.0) were associated with the absence of HCV RNA (i.e., HCV clearance), whereas DRB1*0301 (PR = 0.4; 95% CI = 0.2,0.7) was associated with HCV RNA positivity. DQB1*0301 was also associated with the absence of HCV RNA but only among HIV-seronegative women (PR = 3.4; 95% CI = 1.2,11.8). Each of these associations was among those predicted. We additionally studied the relation of HLA alleles with HCV infection (serostatus) in women at high risk of HCV from injection drug use (N = 838), but no significant relationships were observed. Conclusion: HLA genotype influences the host capacity to clear HCV viremia. The specific HLA associations observed in the current study are unlikely to be due to chance because they were a priori hypothesized. (HEPATOLOGY 2010.) [source]
