hypergammaglobulinemia/vomiting

Autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) are characterized by recurrent, self-limiting systemic inflammation. Disorders include hereditary recurrent fever (HRF) syndromes such as hyperimmunoglobulinemia D and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS). To determine the incidence of HIDS and report clinical and genetic

Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome (HIDS) is a rare, autosomal recessively inherited autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in the mevalonate kinase gene. HIDS usually starts in infancy with recurrent fever episodes lasting 3-7 days and recurring every 4-6 weeks, with only partial symptom

The hyperimmunoglobulinemia D and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS), one of the autoinflammatory syndromes, is caused by mutations in the gene coding for mevalonate kinase (MVK). We conducted the current study to assess the genetic, laboratory, and clinical features as well as the complications and

Hyperimmunoglobulinaemia D syndrome is an autoinflammatory disease usually representing recurrent episodes of fever, arthralgia/arthritis, cervical lymphadenopathy, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and skin rashes lasting 3-7 days every 4-8 weeks since their infancy. Recent reports suggested a

We studied 50 patients (28 male and 22 female) with the hyper-IgD and periodic fever syndrome. Most patients originated from Europe, namely The Netherlands (28 cases; 56%), France (10 cases, 20%), and Italy (3 cases, 6%), but 1 patient was from Japan. A hereditary component is suggested by 18

The periodic fever syndromes are autoinflammatory diseases that present with recurrent fever, serositis

Dutch type periodic fever (DPF) is an autosomal recessive hereditary fever syndrome. Cases have been reported worldwide, the majority from France and The Netherlands. From infancy the patients suffer fever attacks that recur every 2-8 weeks, often precipitated by immunizations, infections or

From 2002 to 2007, 23 ferrets from Europe and the United States were diagnosed with systemic pyogranulomatous inflammation resembling feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). The average age at the time of diagnosis was 11 months. The disease was progressive in all cases, and average duration of

OBJECTIVE Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in children is endemic in southern Europe but has not been previously reported from Albania. This prospective study reports the clinical and laboratory findings in 50 children with visceral leishmaniasis, the value of a direct agglutination test (DAT), and the

BACKGROUND Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by recurrent arterial and venous thrombosis and detection of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs). This syndrome may be associated with connective tissue disorders, or with malignancies, but it may also appear in isolated form (primary APS).

Prolidase deficiency (PD) is an inherited disorder associated with cutaneous ulcers, intellectual disability, unusual facial appearance, skeletal deformities, hematological anomalies, splenomegaly, and chronic infections. We report a girl with PD who presented with early inflammatory bowel disease

Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D is the less severe form of mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) caused by recessive inherited mutation in the mevalonate kinase gene. Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D is characterized by febrile attacks, often associated with transient digestive manifestations, such as abdominal
