Monoclonal insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) is a very rare disease characterized by severe attacks of hypoglycemia caused by circulating anti-insulin antibodies produced by a B-cell clone, usually clonal plasma cells.
We present 2 female Norwegian patients with monoclonal IAS. The anti-insulin antibodies were quantified by immune precipitation and characterized using a 3-step manual in-house assay. Both patients received plasma cell directed therapy.
The first patient received plasma cell directed therapy for a time-limited period and achieved a sustained clinical remission without detectable anti-insulin antibodies. The second patient receives continuous plasma cell directed therapy and is in clinical remission with low values of detectable anti-insulin antibodies.
Plasma cell directed therapy was effective and safe in our 2 cases of monoclonal IAS. We recommend considering plasma cell directed therapy for these patients.
单克隆胰岛素自身免疫综合征(IAS)是一种非常罕见的疾病,其特征是由B细胞克隆(通常是克隆性浆细胞)产生的循环抗胰岛素抗体引起严重低血糖发作。
我们报告了2例挪威女性单克隆IAS患者。通过免疫沉淀法定量抗胰岛素抗体,并使用三步手工内部检测法对其进行鉴定。两名患者均接受了针对浆细胞的治疗。
第一名患者接受了为期有限的针对浆细胞的治疗,并实现了持续的临床缓解,且未检测到抗胰岛素抗体。第二名患者接受持续的针对浆细胞的治疗,处于临床缓解状态,可检测到的抗胰岛素抗体水平较低。
针对浆细胞的治疗在我们的2例单克隆IAS病例中有效且安全。我们建议考虑对这些患者进行针对浆细胞的治疗。
