Immunodeficiency, malabsorption and secretory diarrhea. A new syndrome
J Dawson et al. Am J Med. 1979 Sep.
Abstract
Described here is a patient with severe watery diarrhea associated with common variable immunodeficiency. Malabsorption for fat, bile acids, vitamin B12 and xylose was demonstrated, but the patient failed to respond to all the usual therapeutic maneuvers. The diarrhea responded only to high dose steroid therapy. Intestinal perfusion studies showed a hitherto undescribed, presumably acquired, glucose-stimulated water, sodium and chloride secretion in the jejunum and ileum, whereas normal fluid and electrolyte transport occurred from bicarbonate and mannitol solutions. Glucose absorption itself was normal and no hormonal, morphologic or biochemical defect was demonstrated to account for the phenomenon. The patient was also interesting when compared with other patients with common variable immunodeficiency in having normal plasma cells in the intestinal mucosa and an extensive family involvement.
