About one hundred cases of alpha-chain disease have been reported to date from various Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern countries. We report eleven Iranian patients with primary lymphoma of the duodenum and upper small intestine and positive alpha-chain protein in their sera. The clinical, laboratory and pathological findings in these patients are discussed. The initial favourable response of some of these patients to antibiotic treatment is noted. It is concluded that the optimal treatment of alpha-chain disease is not yet well established, and the clinical improvement might not coincide with histological and immunological remission.
迄今为止,来自地中海和中东各国已报告了约100例α链病病例。我们报告了11例患有十二指肠和上段小肠原发性淋巴瘤且血清α链蛋白呈阳性的伊朗患者。讨论了这些患者的临床、实验室和病理检查结果。注意到其中一些患者对抗生素治疗最初有良好反应。得出的结论是,α链病的最佳治疗方法尚未完全确立,临床改善可能与组织学和免疫学缓解不一致。
