Neurobrucellosis is an uncommon complication of brucellosis. Case presentation: A 25-year-old woman with a history of lupus for 5 months referred to the emergency ward of Shahid Beheshti Hosp...
متن کاملQuantitative magnetic resonance imaging in neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus.
Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but are poorly understood. Although there is a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, brain histology often simply shows a bland vasculopathy. Magnetic resonance techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy, magnetization transfer imaging and diffusion weighted imaging have been used to try to improve our unders...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin Antibodies in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...
متن کاملAutonomic neuropathy in systemic lupus erythematosus: cardiovascular autonomic function assessment.
AIM To assess the prevalence and the nature of autonomic neuropathy (AN) in 17 patients with inactive or mild active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS Patients were tested using questionnaires related to possible AN symptoms, and four non invasive cardiovascular autonomic function tests at rest, during lying to standing, and sustained handgrip. Eleven age matched normal subjects wer...
متن کاملImaging Assessment of Cardiovascular Disease in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Patients with SLE have an excess cardiovascular risk compared with the general population, leading to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although the precise explanation for this is yet to be established, it seems to be associated with the presence ...
