Helicobacter pylori infection might be responsible for the interconnection between type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroiditis
BACKGROUND Higher serological prevalence rates of helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection have been reported in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and autoimmune thyroiditis (AT). Patients with T1DM are at increased risk for developing other autoimmune diseases, most commonly AT. It is unknown whether H. pylori infection could explain the high prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies and AT in ...
متن کاملGenetic similarities between latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes.
OBJECTIVE Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is often considered a slowly progressing subtype of type 1 diabetes, although the clinical picture more resembles type 2 diabetes. One way to improve classification is to study whether LADA shares genetic features with type 1 and/or type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS To accomplish this, we studied whether LADA shares variation in...
متن کاملGenetic similarities between latent autoimmune diabetes and type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
In this issue of Diabetes, Cervin et al. (1) investigated whether patients with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) (defined as age at diabetes onset 35 years, GADA positive), analyzing known risk alleles for type 1 and type 2 diabetes, share genetic polymorphisms with type 1 diabetes (age at onset 35 years) and/or type 2 diabetes (age at onset 35 years, GADA negative). In their LADA pa...
متن کاملComplete remission of pure white cell aplasia associated with thymoma, autoimmune thyroiditis and type 1 diabetes.
Pure white cell aplasia (PWCA) is a rare disorder of unknown origin, often associated with thymoma, characterized by selective neutropenia or pure agranulocytosis, and absence of granulocyte precursors in the bone marrow, but with normal erythroblasts and megakaryocytes. We report a case of PWCA associated with thymoma. Unusual findings in this case report included simultaneous presence of auto...
