Satoyoshi syndrome has antibody against brain and gastrointestinal tissue

Abstract: Satoyoshi syndrome is a rare postnatal disorder with muscle spasms, alopecia, and diarrhea of unknown etiology. Nutritional deficiency seems to influence lifespan. We present a patient with this syndrome having a unique "mesh-like" mucosal change radiographically and white granules endoscopically in the gastrointestinal tract. A common antibody against brain, stomach, and duodenal tissue, according to Western blot analysis, was detected in the sera of two patients with this syndrome. These findings suggest tha… Show more

“…La diarrea que se observa en más de la mitad de los casos, en ocasiones de muy difícil manejo, podría ser secundaria también a un mecanismo autoinmune 6 . En nuestra paciente, los hallazgos en la biopsia duodenal sugerentes de malabsorción e infiltración inflamatoria de la mucosa concuerdan con los descritos en una mujer de 17 años portadora de este síndrome 6 .…”

“…En nuestra paciente, los hallazgos en la biopsia duodenal sugerentes de malabsorción e infiltración inflamatoria de la mucosa concuerdan con los descritos en una mujer de 17 años portadora de este síndrome 6 . El manejo de la dieta con restricción estricta de carbohidratos simples (fructosa, sacarosa, lactosa) fue un factor determinante en el control de la diarrea.…”

“…Other clinical findings include low levels of serum protein and total cholesterol (2), and endocrine disturbances, such as amenorrhea with a tendency toward the development of a hypoplastic uterus and ovaries (1). Complications of autoimmune diseases, such as myasthenia gravis (5) as well as the presence of autoantibodies (auto-Abs) (2,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) and responsiveness to treatment with corticosteroids (9,(11)(12)(13) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), have been reported in patients with Satoyoshi syndrome (7,14), indicating that an autoimmune mechanism may play a role in the onset of this syndrome, although the precise underlying mechanism remain unknown. The age of onset of Satoyoshi syndrome ranges from 5 to 19 years, with a mean age of 11 years (2, 15); however, adult-onset Satoyoshi syndrome is rare, having so far been reported in only a few patients (2,7,(15)(16)(17).…”
