Chronic Viral Infections and Al Amyloidosis: An Uncommon Association
AL-amyloidosis is caused by deposition of pathological insoluble proteins in organs and tissues. HIV infection is a multi-system disorder causing chronic inflammation. We report a case of AL-amyloidosis associated with HIV suggesting that HIV-associated immune dysregulation might be critical for pathogenesis of plasma cells dyscrasias and then AL amyloidosis.
