Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS)

Description:
From MedicineNet.com
 
A disease caused by failure of lymphocytes to die once they have finished doing their job. As a result, lymphocytes hang around in the spleen and lymph nodes which grow large, and immune cells attack the body's own tissues, a condition known as autoimmunity.
 
 
Signs and Symptoms
  • enlarged spleen
  • enlarged lymph nodes, especially in the neck and underarms
  • enlarged liver
  • skin rashes
  • frequent nose bleeds
  • anemia (low blood counts)
  • increase in certain types of white blood cells (including double-negative T cells)
