[Markus Seidel]

Thanks! B12 and sFasL were normal.

Yours, Markus

I´d try to be sure ALPS has been r/o: B12, sFASL ? (despite DNT borderline)

The best approach for GLILD was recently published JCI Jan (AZP + RTX better
than one alone) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22930256

 

We have tried in one patient (AZP and RTX) and worked. In other, RTX alone
improved GLILD for several years.

 

Hope this helps,

Dear Colleagues,

what would be your suggestions in the therapeutic dilemma in a young adult
who 

has been treated successfully with MMF for 5 years for Evans Syndrome, under
that time had a CVID-like B-cell phenotype (<100/µL B cells, absence of csmB
cells, IgG2 and IgA-def.), did not require Ig-substitution, no severe
infections,

initially had severe pancytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, 

who then developed granulomatous lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis early
this year (LIP, either as consequence of iatrogenous CVID or occupational
dust exposure; no infectious agent identified)

and when IS was terminated, had recurrence of severe thrombocytopenia
(<10.000/µL), neutropenia (600-900/µL), autoantibodies against neutrophils,
platelets, pos. Coombs test, but recovered clinically from LIP, which now
appears to be stable in Chest CT.

his mother suffered from granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) – but no
other than blood-cell tissue- or nuclear autoantibodies are detectable in
the patient.

 

I fear that rituximab or other systemic IS would exacerbate his LIP, which
has been stable for 4 months now under rapamycin (the latter did not improve
his thrombocytopenia, though); the B cells recovered to >200/µL and >2% csmB
cells after discontinuation of MMF, but are now lower again under rapamycin,
DNT cells borderline increased 3-5% of CD3;

Romiplostim works short time (1-2 weeks), but doesn’t look like a very good
long term option;

Splenectomy?, Danazole?, AZT?

...SCT?

 

Thanks for your comments or thoughts,

Sincerely,

Markus Seidel
