肉芽肿性多血管炎合并肯尼迪病一例

A Case of Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis Complicated with Kennedy Disease

  • 摘要: 本文报道1例肉芽肿性多血管炎合并肯尼迪病患者的诊疗经过。患者表现为头痛、脓血涕、眼痛、听力及视力下降、双下肢多发结节红斑伴溃疡及下肢无力,胸部影像学显示右肺结节伴空洞形成,胞浆型抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(cytoplasmic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody,c-ANCA)及抗蛋白酶3-抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(proteinase 3-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody,PR3-ANCA)阳性,初期诊断为肉芽肿性多血管炎。经糖皮质激素及环磷酰胺治疗后下肢无力加重、余症状缓解。基因检测显示雄激素受体(androgen receptor,AR)基因第1号外显子CAG重复次数为50次,最终诊断为肉芽肿性多血管炎合并肯尼迪病。经康复治疗后患者下肢无力改善,予甲泼尼龙联合来氟米特维持治疗,长期随访病情稳定。

     

    Abstract: This article reports the diagnosis and treatment course of a patient with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) complicated with Kennedy disease (KD). The patient presented with headache, purulent and bloody rhinorrhea, ocular pain, decreased hearing and vision, multiple nodular erythema with ulcers on both lower extremities, and lower limb weakness. Chest imaging revealed a nodule with cavity formation in the right lung, and cytoplasmic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (c-ANCA) and proteinase 3-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (PR3-ANCA) were positive. The patient was initially diagnosed with granulomatosis with polyangiitis. After treatment with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide, the vasculitis-related symptoms were relieved while lower limb weakness got worse. Genetic testing identified 50 CAG repeats in exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene, and the final diagnosis was GPA complicated with KD. After rehabilitation therapy, the patient′s lower limb weakness improved. Methylprednisolone combined with leflunomide was administered for maintenance treatment, and the condition remained stable during long-term follow-up.
