Indolent systemic mastocytosis in a patient with ileocolitis
Systemic mastocytosis is a clonal disorder of the mast cell and its progenitor cell. It is a rare disorder with unknown incidence in Greece, with an estimate of 2 cases per year in Great Britain. We present a case of an asymptomatic, 72-year-old man who was found to have ileocolitis on endoscopy. Histology revealed mast cells in lamina propria >15 HPF and biochemistry showed high levels of seru...
متن کاملFatal anaphylactic sting reaction in a patient with mastocytosis.
We report on a 33-year-old female patient with indolent systemic mastocytosis and urticaria pigmentosa who died of an anaphylactic reaction after a yellow jacket sting. As she had no history of previous anaphylactic sting reaction, there was no testing performed in order to detect hymenoptera venom sensitization. But even if a sensitization had been diagnosed, no venom immunotherapy (VIT) would...
متن کاملSkin reaction to capsaicin in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus compared to that in healthy controls
Background: The interaction between nervous and immune systems has been under investigation. Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1(TRPV1) is a ligand gated calcium channel expressed by sensory neurons which mediates neurogenic inflammatory response. Substance p which can be released following exposure to capsaicin is a TRPV1 inducer, shown to have altered concentration and function in m...
متن کاملAnaphylactoid reaction to carboplatin: successful "desensitization".
Carboplatin (CP) hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in nearly 12 % of patients treated with this drug. The pathophysiologic mechanisms of these reactions have not been entirely elucidated. Various hypotheses are under discussion. CP hypersensitivity reactions could be IgE-mediated, caused by low-molecular platinum compounds acting as haptens. Platinum salts are also able to release h...
متن کاملSystemic Mastocytosis Causing Refractory Pruritus in a Liver Disease Patient
Systemic mastocytosis (SM) results from clonal, neoplastic proliferation of abnormal mast cells. Patients become susceptible to itching, urticaria, and anaphylactic shock, which occurs due to histamine release from mast cells. SM may coexist alongside other systemic diseases, thus confounding the overall clinical presentation. We discuss a 23-year-old woman with refractory pruritus, which was i...
