    Mastocytosis
    (2019) Gumusburun, Reyhan; Musabak, Ugur Haci; Bavbek, Sevim
    Mast cell activation diseases are common as either atopic diseases or rarely occur as mastocytosis and mast cell activation syndrome. Mastocytosis is a clonal disorder characterized by proliferation and accumulation of mast cells in various tissues, particularly the skin and bone marrow. Mast cell activation syndrome is characterized by systemic symptoms ranging from flushing and abdominal cramps to anaphylaxis secondary to mast cell degranulation. The aim of this review was to increase the awareness of the clinical features, classification, diagnosis, and treatment approaches of systemic mastocytosis. In addition, the role of mast cell activation syndrome in the differential diagnosis will be discussed.

    Pemphigus vulgaris in a patient with primary hypogammaglobulinemia: A case report
    (2022) Musabak, Ugur Haci; Erdogan, Tuba; Tunca, Mustafa; 0000-0002-3143-2442; ABH-5354-2020
    Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by blisters on the mucous membranes and skin. Autoimmunity is an important complication developing in predominantly antibody deficiencies, which is a subgroup of primary immunodeficiencies (PID). Herein, we present a patient with PV who had primary antibody deficiency and whose disease relapsed during the maintenance period of conventional immunosuppressive treatments but progressed to remission following high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. Thus, we aimed to create awareness for the study of primary immunodeficiencies in rare autoimmune bullous diseases.
