Abstract:

IgD myeloma is very rate. It differs from multiple myeloma of other classes in several aspects and its laboratory diagnosis may be difficult, as total plasma protein concentration is often normal, and a paraprotein peak may not be easily demonstrable by the conventional electrophoretic techniques. We report here two cases of IgD myeloma investigated in this laboratory. Immunochemical, biochemical, and hematological studies were carried out: Serum total protein values were within normal range. Quatitation of serum immunoglobulins revealed a decrease in the level of IgG, IgA, and IgM. Bence Jones proteinuria of l type was present in both patients. Serum immunoelectrophoresis, using specific antisera, showed the presence of IgD l paraprotein the diagnosis of IgD myeloma was made after further investigations. Our findings indicate that all patients who have been suspected to have multiple myeloma should be investigated for IgD and IgE myeloma

Interstitial Granulomatous Dermatitis (IGD)

We report the case of a 42 years old male patient suffering from skin changes, which appeared in the last 7-8 years. Two biopsies were performed during the evolution of the lesion. Both showed similar findings that consisted in a busy dermis with interstitial, superficial and deep infiltrates of lymphocytes and histiocytes dispersed among collagen bundles, with variable numbers of neutrophils s...

PHYSIOLOGY OF IgD

Classic studies by Rowe et al . (1) in the human and by Vitetta and coworkers (2) in the mouse have established that IgD is a major membrane immunoglobulin . This has led to a variety of studies and speculation regarding its biological function . Based upon the effect of anti-IgD on the in vitro primary response, Cambier et al . (3) suggested that the presence of IgD on the cell surface was cri...

Serum IgD and IgE

seen in hypogammaglobulinemic patients. Group mean IgD concentrations were also depressed in patients with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and in those with selective IgA deficiency; IgE concentrations were depressed in patients with X-linked immunodeficiency with hyperIgM and in those with ataxia telangiectasia. IgD and IgE were both significantly elevated in patients with extreme hyperimmunoglobulin...

Igd - Pcp Iwf

This document specifies the behavior of the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Internet Gateway Device-Port Control Protocol Interworking Function (IGD-PCP IWF). A UPnP IGD-PCP IWF is required to be embedded in Customer Premises (CP) routers to allow for transparent NAT control in environments where a UPnP IGD is used on the LAN side and PCP is used on the external side of the CP router. Informatio...
