Abstract
A dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitor, commonly used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes, has caused concern because of immune system side effects. We report a 48-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) after continued polyarthritis and an increase in rheumatoid factor up to 86 IU/mL after three months of treatment with sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor. The shared epitope (SE)-containing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 alleles, which are important predisposing factors for RA, were positive. RA might have been triggered by sitagliptin due to a predisposing condition.
我々は、sitagliptin(DPP-4抑制薬)で3ヵ月の治療の最高86IU/mL後に連続した多発関節炎とリウマチ因子の増加の後関節リウマチ(RA)で診断された2型糖尿病で、48歳の女性を報告する。
共有エピトープ(SE)-を含むヒト白血球抗原(HLA)-DRB1アレル(それはRAのための重要な疾病素質である)は、陽性だった。
RAは、素因的状態によりsitagliptinによって引き起こされたかもしれない。
