A Case of Type 2 Autoimmune Pancreatitis Suggesting Two Potential Disease Activity Markers
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is divided into 2 main subtypes: type 1 AIP (AIP-1) and type 2 AIP (AIP-2). This report describes a young woman diagnosed with AIP-2 using endoscopic ultrasound–guided tissue acquisition. AIP-2 has been reported less frequently than AIP-1 as serologic abnormalities and...

| Summary: | Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is divided into 2 main subtypes: type 1 AIP (AIP-1) and type 2 AIP (AIP-2). This report describes a young woman diagnosed with AIP-2 using endoscopic ultrasound–guided tissue acquisition. AIP-2 has been reported less frequently than AIP-1 as serologic abnormalities and other organ involvement except for inflammatory bowel disease are absent. Additional laboratory analyses suggest that serum interleukin-8 and leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein are more efficient disease activity biomarkers than conventional C-reactive proteins. We hope that this case report will contribute to the discovery of diagnostic biomarkers for AIP-2. |
