Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS): NIAID (Excerpt)
Some signs of
ALPS are ones that people can feel or see, and some of them can be
detected only by laboratory tests. Not all people with ALPS will
have all of its possible symptoms. Some people have only a few. Some
things that are seen most often in people with ALPS include:
- an enlarged spleen
- enlarged lymph nodes, especially in the neck and underarms
- an enlarged liver
- skin rashes
- frequent nose bleeds
- anemia (low blood counts)
- an increase in certain types of white blood cells (including
double-negative T cells)
- an increased life-span of some white blood cells that are no
longer needed
- an alteration in a gene

Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS): NIAID (Excerpt)
Common autoimmune problems in ALPS
include:
- Very low red blood cell counts (hemolytic anemia) that can make one
weak.
- Very low platelet counts (immune-mediated thrombocytopenia,
or ITP) that cause bruises and nose bleeds, and may pose a risk
for hemorrhage (excessive bleeding). Little spots called petechiae
(pet-eek'-ia) may also show up on the skin when platelets are low.
- Very low white blood cell counts (autoimmune neutropenia), creating
a risk for bacterial infection.
- Less often, other autoimmune problems can occur in almost any organ
- skin, liver, kidney and nerves are examples.
