We describe a 66-year-old women with CREST variant of scleroderma who developed autoimmune hemolytic anemia responsive to prednisone and demonstrated a deficiency of IgA and the C4 component of complement. This association of clinical, immunologic and genetic findings has not previously been reported. The literature relating to these findings is reviewed and possible mechanisms are discussed.
我们描述了一位66岁患有硬皮病CREST变异型的女性,她出现了对泼尼松有反应的自身免疫性溶血性贫血,并表现出IgA和补体C4成分缺乏。这种临床、免疫和遗传发现的关联此前尚未有报道。本文回顾了与这些发现相关的文献并讨论了可能的机制。
