Screening for celiac disease (CD) dramatically improved when techniques able to measure blood autoantibodies against tissue transglutaminase 2 (TTG) were developed. Although typically increased in CD, these antibodies are not pathognomonic since they are also detected in several other autoimmune processes. IgA deficiency among celiac patients is more frequent than in general population (up to 25% vs 1-3%). This led to develop kits able to measure IgG-TTG, which until today represent a helpful diagnostic tool during diagnosis of CD in IgA deficient individuals. Today, commercial kits measuring IgG- TTG (and other) antibodies are widely available, are frequently used and create confusion in diagnosing CD in IgA-sufficient individuals. This is attributed to the fact that sensitivity and specificity of IgG-TTG is lower when applied to IgA-sufficient persons, and also because IgG-TTG is detected in several autoimmune disorders, with variable frequency and isotypes depending on the condition. Evidence analyzed indicate that to date available data: i) is insufficient to understand the difference of classes and subclasses detected in CD and other autoimmune conditions; ii) does not support the use of IgG-TTG for diagnosing CD in IgA-sufficient individuals and therefore iii) IgG should not be used in the routine diagnostic process of CD.
Concomitant occurrence of celiac disease (CeD) and Crohn's disease (CD) is rare and has been reported in several case reports and series. We report a case of a 63-year-old man with proximal CD, CeD and selective immunoglobulin (Ig) A deficiency (SIgAD). The patient was admitted in our Clinic for evaluation of epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting and weight loss (up to 7 kg) appeared in the last 3 months. The imaging findings from abdominal ultrasound and CT enterography raised suspicion of a lymphoproliferative disease of the jejunum. To exclude the development of lymphoma based on long standing untreated atypical CeD, upper endoscopy with biopsies and serological tests were conducted, showing and subtotal villous atrophy and elevated levels of IgG tissue transglutaminase tTG. Histopathology documented CD (A3,L4,B2 according to Montreal's classification).
Monoclonal gammopathy-associated IgA pemphigus is a debilitating skin disorder with inconsistent response to treatment. A 61-year-old woman with IgA pemphigus and monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance had been treated unsuccessfully with cyclophosphamide/dexamethasone and then with rituximab. When the monoclonal gammopathy progressed to multiple myeloma, the patient received treatment with cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/dexamethasone but there was no clinical response. Second-line therapy with a thalidomide/cyclophosphamide/dexamethasone combination led to severe exacerbation of the skin disorder. However, therapy with a combination regimen that included bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone resulted in complete and durable remission of multiple myeloma and IgA pemphigus. This suggests that bortezomib-based therapy is useful for the treatment of the rare dermatologic disorder associated with IgA gammopathy.
