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...

About treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).

Their treatment results with megadose methylprednisolone (MDMP) support fairly closely our complete remission results, though theirs was a retrospective evaluation. In our prospective, comparative study, antiplatelet antibodies were also determined3. Their 80% complete remission rate (mistakenly written as 66% in the text) with MDMP administration was much better than other therapeutic approach...

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in children.

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children remits spontaneously in the majority of cases but most children require treatment. Between 1995 and 2005, 265 children (0-15 years old) have been consecutively observed and treated: 28 children with high doses of methylprednisolone (HDMP) (15 mg/kgx4 days), 63 with HDMP (7.5 mg/kgx4 days), 37 with HD dexamethasone (DXM) pulses, 29 with low doses o...

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...
