The most commonly reported endocrine-specific conditions among patients in the USIDNET Registry are thyroid specific, found in 356 patients (6.5% of registry patients); this is followed by pancreatic (N=105, 1.9%), parathyroid (N=82, 1.5%), ovarian (N=19, 0.3%, where 6 of these patients had undergone stem cell transplant), Addison's (N=16, 0.3%), polyglandular (N=4, 0.1%), and testicular (N=1, 0.02%). Indications included AD (6 patients), asthma (1 patient), AD and asthma (1 patient), and ABPA (2 patients). 25 patients with autoimmune thyroid disease with 80 available immunologic studies, 5 patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) who had 24 immunologic evaluations and 5 patients with JIA with 13 immunologic evaluations were included in the study along with 668 patients with no autoimmune diagnosis who had 1207 immunologic evaluations. Fourteen patients (6.6%) were diagnosed with either SCID or T-cell lymphopenia: 4 patients (1.9%) with SCID, 2 patients (0.9%) with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and 8 patients (3.8%) with idiopathic T-cell lymphopenia. Patients were most likely to be sensitive to milk (6 patients), egg (4 patients), peanut (3 patients), and wheat (3 patients). [Extracted from the article] |
