IgG4-Related Pancreatitis and Immune Thrombocytopenia: A Case Report and Literature Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with a prior diagnosis of IgG4-related autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) presented four years later with severe prednisone resistant immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Her case is reported and the scant literature of the very unusual possible association of IgG4-related AIP and ITP is reviewed. It is suggested that investigation for IgG4-related disease be part of the work-up of ITP.

Autoimmune pancreatitis is frequently associated with elevated serum and tissue IgG4 levels in the adult population, but there are few reports of pediatric autoimmune pancreatitis, and even fewer reports of IgG4 related systemic disease in a pediatric population. The standard of care treatment in adults is systemic corticosteroids with resolution of symptoms in most cases; however, multiple cou...

pocomplementaemic idiopathic immune complex tubulointerstitial nephritis (TBIN) that we mentioned in our case report [1,2]. In the absence of this evidence, presence or absence of IgG4 disease in reference to our case remains a speculation. On reviewing the literature of IgG4 disease, we noted some important differences. Most of the cases of IgG4 disease have concurrent or subsequent systemic i...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis associated with interstitial pulmonary disease: Report of a case with review of literature
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an emerging clinicopathological entity. Renal involvement is dominated by tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) with IgG4-positive plasma cells and fibrosis. IgG4-RD commonly affects middle-aged to elderly men with accompanying extra-renal lesions such as sialadenitis, lymphadenopathy, or type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis, all of which respond favorably ...
