HLA AW19, B12 in immunoproliferative small intestinal disease.

RADIOTHERAPY IN IMMUNOPROLIFERATIVE SMALL INTESTINAL DISEA SE: A RETROSPECTIVE COMPA RISON OF CHEMOTHERAPY PLUS RADIATION WITH CHEMOTHERAPY ALONE

In order to evaluate the results of abdominal radiation plus chemotherapy in cases with stage II and III of immunoproliferative small intestinal disease in comparison to chemotherapy alone, fifty-one patients referred to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences' affiliated hospitals were studied between 1980 and 1994. Out of them 38 patients who had an abdominal mass were gathered into two gro...

Immunoproliferative Small Intestine Disease (IPSID): A Case Report

Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) is the syndrome associated with Mediterranean lymphoma (a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma). Many of the patients diagnosed with secretory IPSID have variable level of abnormal immunoglobulins in serum or other bodily fluids, identified as truncated alpha heavy chain globulins. Most cases are characterized by a loss of ability to synthesiz...

Palindromic rheumatism in two non-identical brothers with identical HLA including DR4.

Two brothers, aged 52 and 44, who suffered from palindromic rheumatism (PR) for 12 and 15 years were studied. The disease remained palindromic in the older brother, while chronic deformities developed early in the course of the disease in the younger. Their identical HLA locus was A9,Aw19(29); B12,Bw22; Cw1; DR1, DR4.

[Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease associated with Campylobacter jejuni].

BACKGROUND Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (also known as alpha chain disease) is a form of lymphoma that arises in small intestinal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) and is associated with the expression of a monotypic truncated immunoglobulin alpha heavy chain without an associated light chain. Early-stage disease responds to antibiotics, suggesting a bacterial origin. We ...
