Anti-interferon-gamma autoantibody related disseminated nontuberculous mycobacteriosis with pathological features of immunoglobulin G4-related disease.
A 72-year-old man who was diagnosed as pulmonary mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease had suffered from antibiotics resistant fever with left renal enlargement surrounded by inflammatory change and multiple osteolytic lesions on computed tomography (CT). The renal biopsied samples pathologically showed immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) positive plasma cell infiltration and many acid-fast bacilli without granuloma formation. Nucleic acid identification test for MAC from the samples of vertebral osteolytic lesion was positive. In the autopsy samples from left kidney, epithelioid cell granuloma and Langhans giant cell with many acid-fast bacilli were shown pathologically. In addition to osteolytic lesions on CT study, these pathological findings were not consistent with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). The diagnosis of disseminated nontuberculous mycobacteriosis was made, and plasma anti-interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) autoantibody was found as the cause of underlying immunodeficiency. Disturbed function of IFN-γ resulted in impaired ability of phagocytic cells against pathogens and leading to spread of infection. T-helper type 2 dominant immune response was induced by prolonged antigenic stimulation of mycobacteria, which might have contributed to form the pathological features of IgG4-RD.
