Abstract

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common clinically important primary immuno- deficiency that is characterized by frequent bacterial infections, autoimmune diseases, and increased incidence of malignancy. CVID can cause bronchiec- tasis, interstitial involvement, nodular formations, granulomatous disease, and interstitial pneumonia. A 31-year-old male patient who had a history of perni- cious anemia, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and gastric carcinoma diagnosed six years ago, was admitted to our clinic. He had undergone gastrectomy and was cured. In the first year of follow-up in the oncology clinic, lung nodules were detected and chemotherapy was administered. After chemotherapy, new nodules were accepted as metastasis and he was referred to a tertiary center for diagnosis. We hospitalized the case for further investigation. The tomographic imaging showed remarkable bronchiectasis accompanied by multiple nodules that were migrating compared to the previous images. Serum immunoglobulin levels de- creased and he was diagnosed with CVID. The case, rarely seen and diagnosed quite late, is presented in the light of the literature.

Özet

Sık değişken immün yetmezlik (SDİY) immünglobulin üretiminde defekt ile karakterize, klinik önemi olan en sık primer immün yetmezliktir. Tekrarlayan bakteriyel enfeksiyonlar, otoimmün hastalıklar ve malignite insidansında artış ile seyreder. Akciğerde bronşektazi, interstisyel tutulum, nodüler oluşumlar, granülomatöz hastalık ve interstisyel pnömoniye neden olabilir. Öyküsünde pernisiyöz anemi, hashimato tiroiditi, 6 yıl önce tanı konulmuş mide karsinomu bulunan 31 yaşında erkek olgu kliniğimize başvurdu. Olguya gastrektomi uygulanmış, kür olmuş ve onkolojik taki- binde ilk yılda akciğerde nodüller saptanarak kemo- terapi uygulanmıştı. Kemoterapi sonrasında akciğer görüntülemelerinde yeni nodüller gelişmiş ve metas- taz olduğu düşünülerek takibe devam edilmişti. Ta- kiplerde nodüllere tanı amaçlı ileri merkeze yönlendi- rilmişti. Kliniğimizde çekilen tomografide nodüllerin yer değiştirdiği ve bronşektazilerin eşlik ettiği görüldü ve immünoglobulinlerinde düşüklük saptandı. SDİY tanısı konularak immünoloji bölümüne yönlendirildi. Nadir görülen, tanısı oldukça gecikmiş olan olgu, literatürler eşliğinde sunuldu.
