Acquired generalized anhidrosis associated with lymphocytic infundibuloneurohypophysitis.
Acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis (AIGA) has an acute or insidious onset without additional symptoms. There may be eccrine gland dysfunction, and the beneficial effects of corticosteroids lend support to an autoimmune etiology.1,2 Lymphocytic infundibuloneurohypophysitis (LIN) is an inflammatory disorder that can result in central diabetes insipidus (DI); histologic findings showing in...
متن کاملInvestigation of antimuscarinic receptor autoantibodies in patients with acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis.
OBJECTIVE The autoimmune mechanism is considered to play an important role in the development of acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis (AIGA), and muscarinic M3 receptors (M3Rs) on eccrine glands are possible autoimmune targets. We investigated the existence of autoantibodies against M3Rs in AIGA patients. METHODS We immunostained M3R-expressing cultured cells with the serum of 12 AIGA p...

متن کاملDiabetic Ketoalkalosis after Steroid Pulse Therapy in a Patient with Pancreas Transplant Rejection
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is characterized by excessive production of organic acids leading to a low blood pH. Rarely, because of other complicating factors blood pH may be in the alkalemic range and the term diabetic ketoalkalosis has been coined to describe this condition. So far, less than 30 such cases have been reported in the literature. We report a 34-year-old woman who received methyl...
متن کاملIdiopathic generalized anhidrosis: a feature of panautonomic failure.
FDE characteristically occurs each time the offending drug is administrated, although the number of involved sites may increase. The pathogenesis of the disease is still obscure. It seems that a large homogenous population of CD8 (+) T cells are distributed along the epidermal basal layer in FDE and have the capacity to produce large amounts of IFNgamma. These cells are likely to play a signifi...
