selective deficiency of immunoglobulin a (iga) is the most frequent primary hypogammaglobulinemia. as some iga-deficient patients have iga antibodies in their plasma which may cause anaphylactic reactions, blood centers usually maintain a list of iga-deficient blood donors to prepare compatible blood components. in this study we determined the incidence of selective iga deficiency (sigad) in no...

patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus have a high prevalence of coeliac disease, symptoms of which are often mild, atypical, or absent. untreated coeliac disease is associated with an increased risk of malignancy, particularly of lymphoma. therefore, we report a 9-year-old girl with coeliac disease, diabetes type 1 and selective iga deficiency. a 9-year-old female patient presented in august 2...

Patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus have a high prevalence of coeliac disease, symptoms of which are often mild, atypical, or absent. Untreated coeliac disease is associated with an increased risk of malignancy, particularly of lymphoma. Therefore, we report a 9-year-old girl with Coeliac disease, diabetes type 1 and Selective IgA deficiency. A 9-year-old female patient presented in august 2...

Patients with selective immunoglobulin (Ig) A deficiency have a 10- to 20-fold increased risk of celiac disease. In these patients, serological diagnosis of celiac disease can be difficult, since specific IgA-based assays are usually negative and IgG-specific antibody tests are insufficiently reliable. We describe a girl with selective IgA deficiency who had a troublesome diagnosis of celiac di...

Background IgA Deficiency (IgAD) is the most common immunoglobulin deficiency, with approximate incidence of 1 in 400 to 3000 individuals in general population. Selective IgA deficiency is defined as serum IgA levels less than 7 mg/dL with normal serum IgM and IgG levels. A subgroup of individuals, with more than 7 mg/dL but less than 30 mg/dL of serum IgA, are defined as partial IgA deficient ...

GOALS To determine the prevalence and significance of immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency and partial deficiency in patients with celiac disease (CD). BACKGROUND Selective IgA deficiency is a common primary immunoglobulin deficiency and has a higher prevalence in patients with CD. The prevalence and significance of IgA deficiency and partial deficiency in patients with CD in the United States h...
