A Case of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) B27-Positive Intestinal Behçet’s Disease with Crohn’s Disease-Like Anal Fistulas

چکیده
A 49-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with complaints of perianal pain, bloody stool, and high-grade fever due to perianal abscess. Drainage was carried out; however, the patient's complaints worsened, and biopsy findings of colonoscopy showed ulcerative colitis-like lesions. The patient was diagnosed as having Behçet's disease with intestinal involvement, did not have HLA-B51, but did have HLA-B27. We describe a case of Behcet's disease with colitis, making a differential diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease difficult.

Background: Spondyloarthropathies are a group of closely related inflammatory arthritis which involve the axial skeleton and are negative for rheumatoid factor. Objective: This case-control study was conducted to examine HLA- B27 positivity in patients with seronegative spondyloarthritis (SSA) as per ESSG criteria and compare the frequency with healthy controls because a lower positivity is rep...

Background : Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) represents a progressive and debilitating disease that affects approximately 0.9% worldwide. So far the precise mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of AS is still unclear. Linkage between HLA-B27 and AS remains the strongest association between a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecule and disease. Despite intensive research, the ...
متن کاملIsolated cutaneous Crohn’s disease: A case report
This case report describes a patient with cutaneous signs in the genital and peri-anal region suspicious of Crohn’s disease without any intestinal symptom or sign. Inflammatory bowel disease can be associated with some cutaneous signs. However, in this paper, we report a patient with isolated cutaneous Crohn’s disease which is very rare (less than 100 case reports across the world). Our patient...
متن کاملRole of HLA-B7, B8, B27, and B51 in Protection against Hepatitis B Virus Infection
Background: It has been arguedthat unprecedented degree of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci polymorphism within a population is requiredto avoid the devastating effects of infectious diseases. The present study was conducted to determine the associations between some of HLA classI genes and the outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods: Using sequential sampling method, 64 individ...

Background: Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) is a multifactorial disease that affects 1-3% of couples. Since Human Leukocyte Antigen-G (HLA-G) gene is involved in fetal maternal immune tolerance, mutations in the HLA-G gene can affect the success rate of pregnancy. Objective: The present study aims to investigate the haplotype effect of rs1736933 and rs2735022 polymorphisms found in the HLA-G ge...
