The consequences of COVID-19 pandemic on patients with monoclonal gammopathy–associated systemic capillary leak syndrome (Clarkson disease)

Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: The systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS), also known as Clarkson disease, is a rare condition characterized by recurrent life-threatening episodes of capillary hyperpermeability in the presence of a monoclonal gammopathy. Viral infections, especially influenza virus, are known to reveal the disease and to elicit its recurrence.1-3 Patients are asymptomatic between episodes. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance occurs in 3.2% of persons 50 years of age or older and in 5.3% of those 70 years of age or older.
