Individuals with Selective Immunoglobulin-A Deficiency (SIgAD) are often asymptomatic, and symptomatic SIgAD patients often have autoimmune comorbidities. A 48-year-old Han Chinese man presented with abdominal discomfort, hematochezia, and a large tumor in the anogenital region. The primary diagnosis of SIgAD was based on the patient's age, serum IgA concentration (0.067 g/L), and the evidence of chronic respiratory infection. No other immunoglobulin deficiency or evidence of immunosuppression was present. The primary diagnosis of giant condyloma acuminatum was based on human papilloma virus-6-positive laboratory results and histological characteristics. The tumor and adjacent skin lesions were resected. Hemoglobin concentration fell to 5.50 g/dL, and an emergency erythrocyte transfusion was performed. The body temperature increased to 39.8 ÂșC, suggesting a transfusion reaction, and 5 mg dexamethasone was administered intravenously. Hemoglobin concentration stabilized at 10.5 g/dL. The clinical signs and laboratory results indicated autoimmune hemolytic anemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Abdominal discomfort and hematochezia subsided. Though uncommon, the manifestation of multiple autoimmune comorbidities can occur in SIgAD patients. Further research is needed regarding the causes of SIgAD and the autoimmune disorders that often occur as comorbidities.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
