Sarcoidosis associated with combined immunodeficiency.

چکیده
The association of multiple non-caseating granulomata and a positive Kviem test is normally considered to be indicative of a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. However, although depressed cell-mediated immunity is commonly described, it is extremely rare to find a humoral immune paresis. A patient is reported who had multiple granulomata, depressed cellular and humoral immunity and a positive Kveim test.

The aim of the present study was to investigate to what extent interstitial lung disease (ILD) in common variable immunodeficiency disorder (CVID)-associated granulomatous disease (GD) is similar to pulmonary sarcoidosis 20 patients with CVID/GD were included in a retrospective study conducted by the Groupe Sarcoïdose Francophone. Medical records were centralised. Patients were compared with 60...
متن کاملPatients with Chronic Sarcoidosis have Reduced CD27+IgM+IgD+ Unswitched Memory B cells and an Expanded Population of Terminal Effector CD8+CD27-CD28- T cells
Granulomas that occur in sarcoidosis are histologically identical to those found in a subset of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) patients where they are associated with a reduction in class switched memory B lymphocytes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the abnormalities in peripheral blood lymphocyte populations associated with granulomatous variant CVID (gvCVID) are als...
متن کاملSarcoidosis and spondyloarthritis: A coincidence or common etiopathogenesis?
Background: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease. Co-existence with spondyloarthritis (SA) has been more described as an adverse effect of anti-TNF α therapy than an association. We report herein a case of a typical sarcoidosis confirmed by histological proofs and an advanced SA with a bamboo column. Case Presentation: A 48-years-old woman presented with inflammatory back p...
متن کاملPolymorphism of rs2076530 allele in BTNL2 gene in patients with skin sarcoidosis compared to skin sarcoidal reaction and normal skin: A case-control study
Background: In 10-30% of the cases with sarcoidosis, skin lesions appear solely without any systemic signs or symptoms. BTNL2 gene, which is a member of the immunoglobulin gene super family and is associated with CD86 and CD80 co-stimulatory receptors, is identified to play an important role in the establishment of sarcoidosis. We aimed to evaluate the role of this gene in patients with skin sa...

Sarcoidosis has been rarely described in literature as a cause of interstitial pulmonary disease associated with AIDS. This study reports a case of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome associated with pulmonary sarcoidosis in a patient with a history of previous pulmonary tuberculosis concomitant with HIV infection. Results of the immunohistochemical study of samples from the resected ri...
