The X-linked hyper-immunoglobulin M syndrome (HIGM-1) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by elevated serum IgM levels and low to undetectable levels of serum IgG, IgA and IgE. These patients characteristically present with recurrent sinopulmonary infections and recurrent diarrhea. They also
A 25-year-old male was hospitalized for diarrhea and weight loss. Since childhood he had experienced recurrent episodes of pneumonia and diarrhea. Physical and laboratory findings were compatible with malabsorption. On endoscopy, nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (NLH) of the small intestine was found.
Non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis is a condition characterized by an airway inflammatory response to bacterial pathogens. Frequent exacerbations have a major influence on the quality of life. Macrolide antibiotics have not only antibacterial but also immune-regulation effects. It is proved
BACKGROUND
Bronchiectasis are common in Common Variable Immunodeficiency. These patients are prone to infection, leading to progressive lung destruction and accelerated FEV1 decline.
METHODS
40 year-old man, with recurrent respiratory infections, autoimmunity and diarrhea since age 7. At 17 CVID was
Immunoglobulin G4 subclass deficiency is the most common IgG subclass deficiency, followed by immunoglobulin G2 deficiency. However, IgG2 deficiency is the most common IgG subclass deficiency associated with recurrent infections. Immunoglobulin G4 subclass deficiency occurs in association with other
An 82-year-old woman with a history of bronchiectasis for 20 years was admitted to our hospital with anorexia and diarrhea. Sigmoidoscopy showed multiple mucosal erythematous areas and erosions. Histologic examination with Congo red stain revealed massive amyloid deposition around the submucosal
A 77-year-old woman was hospitalized repeatly due to frequent hemoptysis and production of bloodly sputum for several years. Bronchography in 1989 revealed bronchiectasis. She had complained of abdominal pain and diarrhea since 1991, and her urine was first positive for protein in 1992. She was
Hypogammaglobulinemic sprue (HGS), which may predispose to infection, is uncommon. Twelve patients (all men; median age 29 years, 15-50) with HGS (4%) of 296 with chronic small bowel diarrhea and malabsorption syndrome (MAS) during a 10-year period were analyzed. Treatment of HGS was delayed due to
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefits and safety of the long-term use of macrolides in patients with non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis.
METHODS
Embase, Pubmed, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases were searched from inception up to March
BACKGROUND
A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of macrolide therapy in adults and children with bronchiectasis.
METHODS
We searched the PUBMED, EMBASE, CENTRAL databases to identify relevant studies. Two reviewers evaluated the studies and
BACKGROUND
Bronchiectasis is an abnormal and permanent dilatation of bronchi. Infection plays a major role in causing and perpetuating bronchiectasis, as reducing the microbial load and attendant mediators are cornerstone of therapy. Zinc, as an integral micronutrient is involved in the immune
OBJECTIVE
Macrolide antibiotics have been shown beneficial in cystic fibrosis (CF) and diffuse panbronchiolitis, and earlier findings also suggest a benefit in non-CF bronchiectasis.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy of macrolide maintenance treatment for adults with non-CF
In this study the efficacy of bacampicillin and amoxicillin in treatment of bacterial lower respiratory tract infection were compared. Thirty-eight patients were treated with bacampicillin (800 mg twice a day), and 39 were treated with amoxicillin (500 mg three times a day). Conditions treated
Cefpiramide (CPM) is a newly developed cephalosporin. Clinical studies on this drug were carried out and the results were as follows; Forty-three patients (purulent lymphadenitis 2, cellulitis 2, purulent otitis media 1, purulent tonsillitis 3, acute bronchitis 2, pneumonia 22, bronchiectasis 1,
