Monomeric complement-activating IgG paraproteins.
Three patients presented a unique syndrome of recurrent panniculitis with an IgGkappa paraprotein and depletion of the early components of the classical pathway of complement. The IgGkappa paraproteins were monomers with a normal structure, and with no evidence for aggregation, as assessed by electron microscopy and ultracentrifugation. Both heavy and light chains were of normal molecular size ...
متن کاملSerum paraproteins in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
The presence of paraproteins in the sera of 10 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) was investigated using immunoisoelectric focusing. Monoclonal immunoglobulins were found in nine of these 10 sera. Five sera contained a single monoclonal IgM paraprotein, one serum contained a single monoclonal IgG paraprotein, while three sera contained more than one monoclonal paraprotein--namely...

Inflammatory neuropathies are acquired disorders of peripheral nerves and occasionally of the central nervous system that can affect individuals at any age. The course can be monophasic, relapsing, or progressive. Inflammatory neuropathies are classified as acute or chronic. The acute form reaches a nadir by 4 weeks and the chronic form over 8 weeks or greater. The most common example of an acu...
متن کاملInflammatory neuropathies.
We discuss two of the most common of the acquired inflammatory neuropathies: Guillain-Barre syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, as well as their variants. We review their clinical presentation, electrophysiologic findings, and management, highlighting knowledge gained from the recent literature. Unfortunately, although treatments exist for both Guillain-Barre syndrom...
