We describe a 47-year-old male patient suffering from X-linked (or Bruton's) agammaglobulinemia with severe psoriatic arthritis (PsA), which started in childhood. PsA has been previously described in T-cell defective disorders, such as HIV infection, but our observation demonstrates that this rheumatic disease can also occur in subjects with B-lymphocyte cell functional impairment. Chronic inflammatory (bacterial?) involvement of the bowel could represent a pathogenetic connection between X-linked agammaglobulinemia and PsA.
我们描述了一名47岁男性患者,患有X连锁(或布鲁顿氏)无丙种球蛋白血症,并伴有严重的银屑病关节炎(PsA),该病始于童年时期。PsA此前已在T细胞缺陷性疾病(如HIV感染)中有所描述,但我们的观察表明,这种风湿性疾病也可能发生在B淋巴细胞功能受损的患者中。肠道的慢性炎症(细菌性?)累及可能代表了X连锁无丙种球蛋白血症与PsA之间的发病机制联系。
