Heterogeneity of intraepithelial lymphocytes in refractory sprue: potential implications of CD30 expression

Abstract: Background: Refractory sprue is defined as primary or secondary failure to respond to a gluten free diet in patients with coeliac disease-like enteropathy and may signify cryptic or overt enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma. Aims: To study in detail jejunal morphology and immunophenotypes in patients with refractory sprue in the search for features that might be useful to predict prognosis. Patients: Seven patients are described, representing all such cases identified in our hospital over a 13 year period. … Show more

“…Clinical, biological and histological manifestations All 32 patients (100%) had diarrhoea, with a median number of 8 liquid stools per day [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Twenty-four patients (75%) had abdominal pain, which was rarely severe (n = 3).…”

“…The median cumulative hospital stay was 29 days . Four patients required intensive care (12 days [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]). Seven patients required enteral nutrition (30 days ) and 10 required parenteral nutrition (29 days ).…”

“…In this disease, a massive expansion of IELs is observed with an unusual phenotype presenting with intracellular CD3, but lacking surface CD3-TCR complexes, often lacking CD8 and CD4, and a variable expression of CD94 (41)(42)(43)(44). Such IELs are considered neoplastic and have been suggested to represent a cryptic variant of enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma (45).…”
