Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is divided into 2 main subtypes: type 1 AIP (AIP-1) and type 2 AIP (AIP-2). This report describes a young woman diagnosed with AIP-2 using endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition. AIP-2 has been reported less frequently than AIP-1 as serologic abnormalities and other organ involvement except for inflammatory bowel disease are absent. Additional laboratory analyses suggest that serum interleukin-8 and leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein are more efficient disease activity biomarkers than conventional C-reactive proteins. We hope that this case report will contribute to the discovery of diagnostic biomarkers for AIP-2.
自身免疫性胰腺炎(AIP)主要分为2种亚型:1型AIP(AIP-1)和2型AIP(AIP-2)。本报告描述了一名通过内镜超声引导下组织获取诊断为AIP-2的年轻女性。由于除炎症性肠病外无血清学异常及其他器官受累情况,AIP-2的报道较AIP-1少。进一步的实验室分析表明,血清白细胞介素-8和富含亮氨酸的α-2糖蛋白比传统的C反应蛋白更有效地反映疾病活动的生物标志物。我们希望本病例报告将有助于发现AIP-2的诊断生物标志物。
