摘要
We report a 28-year-old Japanese with Klinefelter's syndrome who developed mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and Sjogren syndrome. Previously being well, he presented with Raynaud's phenomenon, dry eye, fever and polyarthralgia. Clinical examinations revealed anti-nRNP autoantibody, leukopenia and lung fibrosis. Then he was found to have Klinefelter's syndrome. Flow cytometric analysis showed a relative increase of peripheral CD8+T lymphocytes carrying either HLA-DR or CD57. Lymphocyte IL-2 production induced in vitro by concanavalin A was decreased. Such T cell abnormalities may be implicated in the development of autoimmune disease in Klinefelter's syndrome.
