Human immunoglobulin treatment of multifocal motor neuropathy and polyneuropathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy.
Intravenous human immune globulin (IVIg) has been proposed for the treatment of various peripheral neuropathies that are considered to be immunemediated. The results are reported of an open trial conducted in multifocal motor neuropathy and polyneuropathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy. Six cases with multifocal motor neuropathy, selected on clinical and electrophysiological criteria (fo...
متن کاملNeuropathy, amyloidosis, and monoclonal gammopathy.
Three cases of neuropathy with monoclonal gammopathy and amyloid deposits in peripheral nerves are described. They appeared to present a benign gammopathy because of the duration of the neuropathy in the absence of any clinical or biological sign of myeloma or macroglobulinaemia. The pathological abnormality found in the sural nerves of the three patients was characterised by a marked loss of m...
متن کاملAxonal neuropathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.
OBJECTIVE The neuropathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is typically a predominantly demyelinating process that may have additional features of axonal degeneration. Sixteen patients with MGUS and a pure or predominantly axonal neuropathy are reported and compared with 20 consecutive patients with demyelinating neuropathy and MGUS who were seen during t...
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 کاملTransient monoclonal gammopathy associated with cytomegalovirus infection.
A transient monoclonal gammopathy, lgA-Iambda light chain, associated with a cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection occurred in a patient with acute leukemia in remission. Evidence of CMV infection was confirmed by indirect hemagglutination titers, initially being 1:4096 and gradually falling to 1:64. During the infection, serum and salivary IgA levels rose to 2450 mg/100 ml and 72 mg/100 ml, respecti...
