Peutz-Jegher Syndrome PJS



- It's inherited in an Autosomal Dominant pattern

- Due to mutation in STK11 gene [ also known as LKB1 ] which is tumor suppressor gene. 

       →   its mutations disrupting its ability to restrain the cell division       
 

- Characterestic by development of non-cutaneous growths called hamartomatous polyps in the 

   gastrointestinal tract particulary stomach and intestine 

- The polyps have a great risk of develop cancer

Whipple's disease ( intestinal lipodystrophy )

 



* It's form of malabsorption disease, caused by tropheryma whipplei organism. 

* Typically in white men of middle age 

* It's rare disease with unknown risk factors 


Symptoms 

 * The symptoms start slowly 
 
 * Joint pain is the most common early symptoms

 * GIT symptoms occure several years later 

 * Other symptoms like  
      
                " Abdominal pain    " Diarrhea   " Fever   " Darkening of skin in light exposed area of the skin

                " Joint pain [ ankle - knee - elbow - fingers - others ] 
  
                " Memory loss       " Weight loss     " mental changes 

Physical Exam 

 * Enlarged lymph nodes

 * Heart murmurs 

 * Oedema

Complications 

 * Brain damage 
 
 * Heart valve damage 

 * Weight loss

 * Symptoms return

Investigations

 * CBC      * PCR    * Fecal fat     * Albumin level       * D-xylose absorption 

*  Biopsy of small Bowel on periodic acid-schiff stain ( PAS ) positive macrophages  in lamina 

     properia contain Non-acid fast gram +ve bacilli

 * Upper GIT  endoscopy

Treatment

* Long term antibiotics to cure against CNS infection 👇
   
             " Ceftraixone IV then TM-SM up to 1 year

             " If symptoms back during antibiotics use → may change antibiotics

* Dietary supplements for malnutrition

   

          

Coeliac disease ( Gluten Enteropathy )

 



* Inheritance patterin is unknown

* Autoimmune disease abnormall sensitive to gluten protein found in wheat, rye, barley and others 

* the risk of developing disease increased by variant HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 genes

* these genes binds to each other to form functional protein complex called antigene-binding DQαβ 

   heterodimer

* the only treatment is strict  gluten-free diet 



patterns of coeliac disease:-


( 1 ) Latent coeliac disease 

   
          * No symptoms 

          * Normal intestinal villi 

          * No Antibodies in bloodstream

( 2 ) Silent coeliac disease 


           * No symptoms  
 
           * Damaged intestinal villi

           * There are Antibodies in bloodstream

( 3 ) Refractory Sprue 

     
           * Not improve with gluten-free diet 

           * Chronic inflammation of GIT 

( 4 ) Non-classic coeliac disease 


           * No GIT symptoms 

           * Now it's more common than the classic form 

( 5 ) Symptomatic coeliac disease ( classic form )


            * Can develop at any age after start eating gluten-containing diet 

            * Result from inflammation of GIT which damages intestinal villi so it become shortened and      
              flatten out and so malabsorption occure


Symptoms:- 

    GIT  

          * Diarrhea  *malabsorption   * Weight loss   * Abdominal pain     * Abdominal distention 
   
          * Food intolerance   * Increased risk of intestinal and esophageal cancers

  Skin & General 

          * Iron deficiency anemia   * Vitamins deficiency    * Osteoprosis     * Dermatitis herpatiforms

          * Teath enemal defects      * Chronic fatigue   * Joint pain    * Poor frowth     
  
          * Delayed puberty   * Infertility   * Repeats miscariages 


  Neurological 

          * Migraine    * ADHD    * Recurrent seziures 



How to manage refractory celiac disease

1-  In patients believed to have celiac disease who have persistent or recurrent symptoms or signs, the 
initial diagnosis of celiac disease should be confirmed by review of prior diagnostic testing, including 
serologies, endoscopies and histologic findings.

2-  In patients with confirmed celiac disease with persistent or recurrent symptoms or signs (nonresponsive celiac disease), ongoing gluten ingestion should be excluded as a cause of these symptoms with serologic testing, dietitian review, and detection of immunogenic peptides in stool or urine. EGD with small bowel biopsies should be performed to look for villous atrophy. If villous atrophy persists or the initial diagnosis of celiac disease was not confirmed, consider other causes of villous atrophy, including common variable immunodeficiency, autoimmune enteropathy, tropical sprue and medication-induced enteropathy.

3-  For patients with nonresponsive celiac disease, after exclusion of gluten ingestion, perform a systematic evaluation for other potential causes of symptoms, including functional bowel disorders, microscopic colitis, pancreatic insufficiency, inflammatory bowel disease, lactose or fructose intolerance and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

4-  Use flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and T-cell receptor rearrangement studies to distinguish between subtypes of refractory celiac disease and to exclude enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma. Type 1 refractory celiac disease is characterized by a normal intraepithelial lymphocyte population and type 2 is defined by the presence of an aberrant, clonal intraepithelial lymphocyte population. Consultation with an expert hematopathologist is necessary to interpret these studies.

5-  Perform small bowel imaging with capsule endoscopy and computed tomography or magnetic resonance enterography to exclude enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma and ulcerative jejunoileitis at initial diagnosis of type 2 refractory celiac disease.

6-  Complete a detailed nutritional assessment with investigation of micronutrient and macronutrient deficiencies in patients diagnosed with refractory celiac disease. Check albumin as an independent prognostic factor.

7-  Correct deficiencies in macro- and micronutrients using oral supplements and/or enteral support. Consider parenteral nutrition for patients with severe malnutrition due to malabsorption.

8-  Corticosteroids, most commonly open-capsule budesonide or, if unavailable, prednisone, are the medication of choice and should be used as first-line therapy in either type 1 or type 2 refractory celiac disease.

9-  Patients with refractory celiac disease require regular follow-up by a multidisciplinary team, including gastroenterologists and dietitians, to assess clinical and histologic response to therapy. Identify local experts with expertise in celiac disease to assist with management.

10-  Patients with refractory celiac disease without response to steroids may benefit from referral to a center with expertise for management or evaluation for inclusion in clinical trials.
