Abstract

A 15-year-old Iraqi male patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia received an allogeneic bone marrow transplant from his brother. On the 18th day after the transplant, the patient developed grade II acute graft-versus-host disease, and treatment included methylprednisolone. On day 140, the patient was diagnosed with leukoderma. On day 150, the patient was admitted to hospital because of numbness and muscle weakness in the extremities and a disturbance of the gait. Neurologic examination showed muscle weakness in the upper and lower extremities and there were no deep tendon reflexes. Nerve conduction studies showed reduced conduction speeds of the motor nerves with demyelinating features. The patient was diagnosed as having a chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDB) based on clinical and electrophysiological findings. Treatment included methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin. The neurologic function improved but the skin lesions persisted. This case shows that graft-versus-host disease can act as a triggering factor for the appearance of autoimmune diseases.

Özet

Akut lenfoblastik lösemisi olan 15 yaşındaki Iraklı erkek hastaya ağabeyinden allojenik kemik iliği nakli yapıldı. Nakilden 18 gün sonra hastada evre 2 graft-versus-host hastalığı gelişti ve tedavi olarak metilprednizolon verildi. 140. günde hastaya lökoderma tanısı konuldu. 150. günde hasta ekstremitelerde uyuşma, kas güçsüzlüğü ve denge bozukluğu nedeniyle başvurdu. Nörolojik muayenede üst ve alt ekstremitelerde kas zayıflığı görüldü ve tüm derin tendon refleksleri yoktu. Sinir iletim testleri gecikmiş motor sinir iletimini gösterdi. Hastaya kronik inflamatuar demiyelinizan poliradikülonöropati tanısı klinik ve elektrofizyolojik bulgulara dayanılarak konuldu. Tedavi olarak metilprednizolon ve intravenöz immunglobulin verildi. Nörolojik fonksiyonları düzeldi fakat cilt bulguları devam etti. Bu vaka graft-versus-host hastalığının otoimmun hastalıkların ortaya çıkması için tetikleyici bir faktör olabileceğini göstermektedir.
