IPEX syndrome - Patients develop intractable chronic diarrhea secondary to autoimmune small bowel inflammation (the colon can also be affected). The diarrhea may be watery, bloody or mucoid. Biopsy of the bowel reveals villous atrophy and lymphocytic infiltrates in the mucosa. Additional features of this disease include atopic dermatitis, endocrinopathies (Type I diabetes and thyroid disease), and autoimmune cytopenias.
