Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) in Thailand.
Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) is prevalent in the Mediterranean region and in many Third World countries but is rare in Southeast Asia. Between 1980-1990, 4 cases of IPSID were admitted to Ramathibodi Hospital, Bangkok. Three were males and the mean age was 32 +/- 20.2 years. All patients presented with chronic diarrhea of 7 months to 6 years duration, and weight loss of ...

Archives contained a total of 27 cases of IPSID diagnosed and treated over an 18-year period. A M: F ratio of 2.4:1 was seen with a mean and median ages of 28.7 and 25 years. Most patients (68.8...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin gene rearrangement in immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID).
Analysis of DNA from the mucosal tissue of three patients with immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) and alpha chain disease, two of whom had early stage disease responsive to antibiotics, showed monoclonal heavy and light chain gene rearrangements in all cases. These findings suggest that IPSID is neoplastic even in its early stages, but that the neoplastic cells respond to norm...

متن کاملImmunoproliferative Small Intestine Disease (IPSID): A Case Report
Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) is the syndrome associated with Mediterranean lymphoma (a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma). Many of the patients diagnosed with secretory IPSID have variable level of abnormal immunoglobulins in serum or other bodily fluids, identified as truncated alpha heavy chain globulins. Most cases are characterized by a loss of ability to synthesiz...
