  • Title: Alpha-chain disease--a report of eleven patients from Iran.
    Author: Mir-Madjlessi SH, Mir-Ahmadian M.
    Journal: J Trop Med Hyg; 1979; 82(11-12):229-36. PubMed ID: 119056.
    Abstract:
    About one hundred cases of alpha-chain disease have been reported to date from various Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern countries. We report eleven Iranian patients with primary lymphoma of the duodenum and upper small intestine and positive alpha-chain protein in their sera. The clinical, laboratory and pathological findings in these patients are discussed. The initial favourable response of some of these patients to antibiotic treatment is noted. It is concluded that the optimal treatment of alpha-chain disease is not yet well established, and the clinical improvement might not coincide with histological and immunological remission.
