Steroid-resistant protein-losing gastroenteropathy complicated with Sjögren’s syndrome successfully treated with mizoribine
2018
AbstractA 64-year-old woman with leg
edemawas diagnosed with protein-losing gastroenteropathy and Sjogren’s syndrome. Central venous nutrition led to infection of her catheter, ascites, and
deep veinthrombosis. Following successful treatment of these conditions with antibiotics and anticoagulants, she was treated unsuccessfully with
prednisoloneand steroid pulse therapy.
Mizoribineadd-on markedly reduced
edemaand normalized serum albumin. This is the first report of a steroid-resistant protein-losing gastroenteropathy patient with Sjogren’s syndrome successfully treated with
mizoribine.
