Alpha-1-antitrypsin Deficiency in a Young Adult: The First Case Report in Taiwan and an Epidemiological Review of Asia
年輕男性的甲1型抗胰蛋白脢缺乏症：台灣第一例病例報告及亞洲的流行病學的文獻回顧
並列摘要
The prevalence of Alpha-1-antitrypsin (α1AT) deficiency in Taiwan is not known as yet, since there are extremely rare case reports and the prevalence is normally lower among Asian countries than Western countries. We report an 18-year-old male non-smoker with the chief complaint of effort dyspnea. He was diagnosed as having α1AT deficiency-related emphysema, based on imaging studies, pulmonary function tests and the level of α1AT in the serum. This is the first case report of α1AT deficiency-related emphysema in a young adult in Taiwan. The incidence and contribution of α1AT deficiency to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among nonsmokers, and the prognosis, need further investigation in Asia.
