PReS-FINAL-2256: Panniculitis revealing quantitative alpha 1 antitrypsine deficiency
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Panniculitis can arise from many underlying causes. Potential causes include connective tissue disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus and scleroderma, lymphoproliferative disorders, pancreatic disease, gout, chronic kidney disease, alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha1 AT) deficiency and adverse reactions to medications. Alpha 1 AT deficiency is one of the most common hereditary disorders of Caucasians and Europeans, and commonly associated with pulmonary and hepatic injury. Panniculitis is an uncommon first manifestation of this deficiency, with fewer than 100 cases reported in the English-language scientific literature.

Introduction Panniculitis is an inflammatory disorder of subcutaneous adipose tissue, frequently accompanied by vaculitis and systemic involvement. The peak age of patients is 20-30 years, and it is fairly rare in children, especially in infants. Therefore, panniculitis-like lesions in young children require differential diagnostic procedures and sometimes joined efforts of rheumatologists, hem...

Severe alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is one of the most common serious genetic diseases in adults of European descent. Individuals with AAT deficiency have a greatly increased risk for emphysema and liver disease. Other manifestations include bronchiectasis, necrotizing panniculitis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Despite the frequency and potential severity, AAT deficiency remains...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is the most abundant serine protease inhibitor circulating in the blood. AAT deficiency (AATD) is an autosomal codominant condition affecting an estimated 3.4 million individuals worldwide. The clinical disease associated with AATD can present in a number of ways including COPD, liver disease, panniculitis and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody vasculitis. AATD is the...

Abnormalities in alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) proteins are risk factors for human disease. While the most common is AAT deficiency, a genetic disorder associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, additional disorders associated with AAT abnormalities are increasingly recognised. We describe a middle-aged woman who presented with fulminant hepatic and multiorgan failure. Evaluation reveal...
