Intestinal Amyloidosis in Common Variable Immunodeficiency and Rheumatoid Arthritis
We present a case of reactive amyloidosis that developed secondary to common variable immunodeficiency and rheumatoid arthritis. A 66-year-old woman, with prior history of common variable immunodeficiency and rheumatoid arthritis, was referred to our clinic for chronic diarrhea investigation. The patient was submitted to colonoscopy with ileoscopy, which did not show relevant endoscopic alterat...
متن کاملCommon variable immunodeficiency mimicking rheumatoid arthritis with Sjögren's syndrome.
Several autoimmune diseases have been reported to be associated with common variable immunodeficiency disease (CVID), including rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren's syndrome. On the other hand, approximately 20-30% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis develop secondary Sjögren's syndrome. A 26-year-old woman had a 6-year history of chronic symmetric polyarthritis and 3-year history of sicca synd...
متن کاملA Rare Cause of Secondary Amyloidosis: Common Variable Immunodeficiency Disease

متن کاملRheumatoid Arthritis with Amyloidosis.
Secondary amyloidosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is a dangerous complication which accounts for a significant number of early deaths (Gedda, 1955). Although it is not rare, most of the reported cases were not diagnosed until after death. Missen and Taylor (1956) reviewed the relevant literature and found 97 cases in which the diagnosis of amyloidosis was made at autopsy, and only 28 ...
متن کاملAmyloidosis in rheumatoid arthritis treated with hormones.
Experimental evidence suggests that treatment with cortisone orACTH increases the rate of accumulation of tissue amyloid. Thus Teilum (1952) has shown that mice previously treated with casein in doses insufficient to cause amyloidosis accumulate amyloid quickly in the spleen after a small number of injections of cortisone. Latvalahti (1953) has confirmed this observation and has shown that mice...
