22. A 12 month female child, weighing 6.6kg, unvaccinated,
3rd issue of consanguineous marriage admitted with c/o
recurrent chest infections.
No h/o Jaundice, Convulsions, Joint or Bone pain, blood
transfusion and any other neurological abnormality.
O/E febrile, mildly anemic, absent BCG mark, lymph nodes
non-palpable, with severe chest indrawing B/L coarse crepts
along with Hepatospleenomegaly.
.
35. CBC is normal besides mild anemia,
viral markers for Hepatitis B,C and HIV are
negative.
PPA score for TB is 5.
Lipid profile shows elevated level of triglycerides
and normal HB Electrophoresis.
U/S Abdomen shows mild Hepatospleno-meglly.
CXR shows BL pulmonary infiltrates
Bone marrow morphology revealed Large
vacuolated cells resembling Bubble like
appearance depicting Niemann-pick cells.
36. Child is suspected Niemann Pick Disease
type-B on the basis of clinical manifestations
and characteristic cells on Bone marrow
report.
Acid sphingomylinase enzyme activity could
not be seen due to lack of facilities.
37.
38. NPD is autosomal recessive LIPID storage
disorder that results from the deficiency of a
lysozomal enzyme ACID SPHINGOMYLINASE.
Which involves breakdown transport and use
of fats and cholesterol in body.
Abnormal metabolism causes harmful
amount of lipids to accumulate in the liver,
spleen, lung, bone marrow and Brain.
39. TYPE -A NPD
(acute neuropathic)
B/W 6-12 month of age
1.Hepatosplenomegaly
followed by rapid CNS
deterioration
2. Seizures and
lymphadenopathy
1. FTT and RTI are
common.
2. 50% have cherry
redspots at macula.
3. Most die by age of 2-
3 years.
TYPE-B NPD
(Non-neuropathic)
Pts present in infancy or
latter in childhood.
1. Hepatospenomegaly
2. Pulmonary
involvement in form
of Recurrent
pneumonia
3. Pancytopenia on CBC
due to
hypersplenism
TYPE-C
Can present from
perinatal period to
adulthood.
1. Neonatal form
present with severe
hepatic disease and
pulmonary disease
leading to
respiratory failure.
2.Most pt has
cerebellar
involvement
3. HSM and paresis
of vertical gaze is
also present.
40. Deficient activity of Acid sphingomylinase (ASM)
in WBC and cultured skin fibroblasts is diagnostic.
CBC pancytopenia
LFTs increase transaminase
LIPID PROFILE High cholesterol, high triglycerides
Clinical diagnosis of type-C NPD supported by
filpin stain positivity in cultured cell fibroblasts and
identification of a specific mutation in the NPC1 or
NPC2 gene.
42. NIEMANN-PICK cells
(lipid-laden foam cell)
Bone marrow shows
typical foam cells
These are large cells with
vacuolated cytoplasm .
“Soap bubble-appearance”
43. Prenatal diagnosis of type A & B by measuring
ASM activity in cultured amniocytes or
chorionic villi.
45. No specific treatment is available .
BONE MARROW TARNSPLANTATION in small
number of type-B NPD patient have been
successful in reducing the sphingomylinase
content of viscera's, Niemann-pick cells in
bone marrow and radiological detected
infiltration of the lung.
46. Enzyme replacement therapy with
recombinant human Acid sphingomylinase is
currently in clinical trials for the treatment of
type-B NPD
MIGLUSTAT has been approved for the
treatment of type-C NPD .
Treatment of type A NPD has not been
successful because of the severe neurological
involvement
