Serum IgA deficiency was first noted in a 10 year old boy 8 months after the onset of D-penicillamine therapy. Special immunological examinations revealed a deficiency of the secretory component of IgA while cellular functions of T- and B-lymphocytes were normal. The patient showed discrete clinical signs compatible with IgA deficiency. Regular control of patients with Morbus Wilson and D-penicillamine treatment should include measurement of serum immunoglobulin levels.
In the neonatal period ultrasound and hepatobiliary functional scintigraphy are used to diagnose choledochal cysts. Initial sonography demonstrates hepatobiliary anatomy, hepatobiliary function is assessed by subsequent scintigraphy. The diagnosis can be confirmed by additional computed tomography as shown in this case report.
