Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia with hypogammaglobulinaemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acquired idiopathic hypogammaglobulinaemia can be associated with a sprue-like syndrome in about 20% of patients (Gitlin, Gross, and Janeway, 1959). Hermans, Huizenga, Hoffman, Brown, and Markowitz (1966) described the association of hypogammaglobulinaemia with nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the small intestine, recurrent upper respiratory infections, the malabsorption syndrome with steatorrhoea, and infestation with Giardi lamblia. Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia is relatively rare and is not found in the vast majority of patients with acquired idiopathic hypogammaglobulinaemia. Our purpose is to report a patient with this disorder and to review the literature relating to this subject.
