Concurrent Autoimmune Neutropenia and Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Associated with IgG4-related Diease.

Internal Medicine 2018 July 2
IgG4-related disease (IgG4RD) is a multi-organ disorder characterized by an elevated serum IgG4 level and IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration of the affected organs, accompanied by tissue fibrosis and sclerosis. Although it can affect any organ, to our knowledge, no cases involving concurrent autoimmune neutropenia and thrombocytopenia have been reported. A 62-year-old man visited our hospital and was diagnosed with IgG4RD accompanied by interstitial pneumonitis, lymphadenopathy, and interstitial nephritis. During his clinical course, he developed autoimmune neutropenia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Our case, invoving multiple hematological abnormalities, might help deepen our understanding of the pathophysiology of IgG4RD.
