Abstrakt | 58-year old Caucasian woman was diagnosed with sarcoidosis. Low immunoglobulin levels were found and common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) was diagnosed 1year later. Laboratory tests and clinical course at this time revealed thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Therapeutic plasma exchange was started and her clinical status and laboratory parameters improved. According to CVID she received human immunoglobulin intravenously. Four months later we noticed swelling of the parotid glands and generalized lymphadenopathy. Histology of cervical lymph node confirmed large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-cell NHL). To the best of our knowledge, TMA complicating the course of sarcoidosis, CVID and B-cell NHL has never been reported. | |
