Immune dysregulation-inflammatory bowel disease-arthritis-recurrent infections-lymphopenia syndrome

What it is

A rare genetic immune disease characterized by early onset of recurrent bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, gastritis, and inflammatory polyarthritis. Patients present with diarrhea, vomiting, hepatosplenomegaly, mouth ulcers, perianal abscesses, chronic lung disease with bronchiectasis, and failure to thrive. Occurrence of a skin rash associated with lymphocytic vasculitis has also been reported. Immunologic abnormalities include variable T-cell lymphopenia, decreased natural killer cells, and decreased B-cells with variable hypogammaglobulinemia.

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Related health topics

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
