Prognostic validation of the international classification of immunoglobulin M gammopathies: a survival advantage for patients with immunoglobulin M monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance?
PURPOSE To verify the reliability of the new criteria for the diagnosis of IgM gammopathies recently proposed by an international panel of experts (Athens, 2002). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A retrospective series of 698 patients with IgM gammopathy was reviewed paying attention to symptoms, serum IgM concentration, bone marrow infiltration, blood cell count and clinical course. Four clinical entitie...
متن کاملEfficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin in patients with IgG monoclonal gammopathy and polyneuropathy.
CONTEXT The optimal treatment of patients with neuropathy associated with IgG monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is unknown. Plasma exchange has been shown to be effective but alternative therapies have not been systematically evaluated. OBJECTIVE To report our experience with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in patients with IgG monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined signific...
متن کاملNon-secretory immunoglobulin E myeloma associated with immunoglobulin G monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance
A 68-year old woman came to our hospital with a severe case of anemia. Serum immunoelectropheresis identified a monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) G and κ protein. The serum IgE level was within the nomal range and the amounts of remaining immunogloblins were low. On bone marrow aspirate, plasma cells made up 55.5% of nucleated cells and the plasma cells showed positive readings for IgE κ and IgG b...
متن کاملMonoclonal gammopathy in patients with HIV infection and aids patients
Two hundred and twenty two HIV positive serum specimens from different stages of HIV infection and from different high risk groups were subjected to electrophoresis on conventional agar gel by zone electrophoresis and analyzed in Davis Polyacrylamide Gel Disc electrophoresis (PAGDE). 52(23.42%) had shown monoclonal immunoglobulin components in their serum samples. Monoclonal immunoglobulins wer...
متن کاملTransient hemophagocytosis with deficient cellular cytotoxicity, monoclonal immunoglobulin M gammopathy, increased T-cell numbers, and hypomorphic NEMO mutation.
X-linked osteopetrosis, anhydrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and immunodeficiency (XL-O-EDA-ID) is a disorder that is caused by hypomorphic mutations in the nuclear factor kappaB essential modulator (NEMO). These mutations lead to an impaired NF-kappaB activation. In vitro analyses and studies in animal models show that inhibition of NF-kappaB leads to a decrease of cytokine production and T-cell p...
