Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy in a Patient with Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency Severe Combined Immunodeficiency: Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adenosine deaminase deficiency is a type of severe combined immunodeficiency that involves about 15% of all SCID cases. This form of SCID has low B cells, T cells, and NK cells. This condition is complex with many possible complications including neurological abnormalities. Guillainbarré syndrome is an acute inflammatory disease of the peripheral nerves that involves an autoimmune attack on myelin resulting in demyelination. Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy is a chronic form of Guillainbarré syndrome that presents with progressive symptoms. We describe a 14 year old female with ADA-SCID who developed chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy that did not respond to IVIG, or plasmapheresis or prednisone but successfully treated with rituximab. Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, responsive to anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, should be added to neurological complications in ADA-SCID patients.

A case of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy presented with unilateral ptosis
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy is an autoimmune disease with progressive and relapsing courses. The main clinical presentations are diffuse deep tendon hyporeflexia or areflexia and symmetric proximal-distal muscles weakness. Myasthenia gravis is also an immune mediated disease with fluctuating ocular and bulbar symptoms and sometimes weakness. Although both myasthenia grav...
متن کاملA novel mutation in the ADA gene causing severe combined immunodeficiency in an Arab patient: a case report
INTRODUCTION About 20% of the cases of human severe combined immunodeficiency are the result of the child being homozygous for defective genes encoding the enzyme adenosine deaminase. To our knowledge, the mutation pattern in Arab patients with severe combined immunodeficiency has never been reported previously. CASE PRESENTATION A 14-month-old Arab boy had clinical features typical of severe...
متن کاملDemyelinating Polyneuropathy Following Scorpion Sting Envenomation; a Case Report and Review of Literature
Background: Scorpion sting envenomation generally causes treatable local and systemic effects; however, in rare cases, the victims might experience sequels in end organs such as central nervous system. In the present paper, a case of relatively self-limiting demyelinating polyneuropathy following a Butidae sting is presented and the possible mechanisms are discussed. Case Presentation: A 19-y...
متن کاملAdenosine deaminase deficiency in adults.
Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency typically causes severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in infants. We report metabolic, immunologic, and genetic findings in two ADA-deficient adults with distinct phenotypes. Patient no. 1 (39 years of age) had combined immunodeficiency. She had frequent infections, lymphopenia, and recurrent hepatitis as a child but did relatively well in her second and ...
متن کاملIn vitro platelet abnormality in adenosine deaminase deficiency and severe combined immunodeficiency.
The platelets of an infant with severe combined immune deficiency and adenosine deaminase deficiency showed markedly diminished responses to ADP-induced aggregation in vitro. This abnormality was corrected by the addition of purified adenosine deaminase in vitro. Exogenous adenosine added to platelet-rich plasma caused markedly prolonged inhibition of ADP-induced aggregation. This was shown by ...
