presence of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and autoimmune hemolytic anemia in the patients with common variable immunodeficiency

Presence of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura and autoimmune hemolytic anemia in the patients with common variable immunodeficiency.

Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and an increased susceptibility to recurrent infections as well as autoimmunity and malignancies. Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) and Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) are two autoimmune disorders which may be seen in association with CVID. Among 85 CVID patients, seve...

Thrombocytopenic purpura associated with common variable immunodeficiency and bronchiectasis

Case report Boy with 13 years old diagnosed with thrombocytopenic purpura and a normal myelogram. He presented low levels of immunoglobulins (A = 7 mg / dl, M = 14,2mg / dl and G = 140 mg / dl). Immunophenotyping of lymphocytes was altered with CD19 = 7.9% (81cells / mm3); CD4 = 56.5% (574cells / mm3) and CD8 = 12.3% (125cells / mm3). The research of vaccine antibodies (tetanus, mumps) was nega...

Successful use of rituximab in refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in a patient with common variable immunodeficiency.

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a common autoimmune disease in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). We describe a 36-year-old woman with CVID. The clinical course of her disease was complicated by bronchiectasis, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and portal vein thrombosis. She developed recurrent attacks of ITP refractory to high doses of corticosteroid, intrav...

Autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura and common variable immunodeficiency: analysis of 21 cases and review of the literature.

To describe the main characteristics and outcome of autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (AITP) in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), we analyzed data from 21 patients and reviewed additional cases from the literature. To be included in this study, patients had to have CVID and a previous history of AITP with a platelet count < or = 50 x 10(9)/L at onset. A complete response ...
