P 137: Central Nervous System Involvement in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex clinical syndrome which its components are less clearly recognized and includes heterogeneous demonstrations engaging both central and peripheral nervous system along with disabling effects. This disease is called "thousand faces" due to these heterogeneous demonstrations. This gap exists while 75% of adults and children with SLE may dea...
متن کامل[Central nervous system involvement in Behçet's disease].
Central nervous system involvement in Behçet's disease, usually called neuro-Behçet's syndrome (NB), includes acute type and chronic progressive type. Acute NB is characterized by acute meningoencephalitis with focal lesions, presenting high intensity areas in T2-weightened images or FLAIR images on MRI scans. Cyclosporin A frequently causes acute NB. Acute NB responds to steroid therapy, and i...
متن کاملCentral Nervous System Involvement in Whipple Disease
Whipple disease (WD) is a rare multisystemic infection with a protean clinical presentation. The central nervous system (CNS) is involved in 3 situations: CNS involvement in classic WD, CNS relapse in previously treated WD, and isolated CNS infection. We retrospectively analyzed clinical features, diagnostic workup, brain imaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) study, treatment, and follow-up data i...
متن کاملAnti-endothelial cell antibodies in Behçet's disease.
OBJECTIVE Circulating antibodies that bind to human endothelial cells cultured in vitro have been detected in a variety of diseases, including Behçet's disease. In this disorder the reported prevalence of AECA has varied widely. One likely source of variability is the ELISA assay itself, in which differing conditions and reagents have been used in different reports. METHODS We have re-examine...
متن کاملReview: Central nervous system involvement in mitochondrial disease
Mitochondrial respiratory chain defects are an important cause of inherited disorders affecting approximately 1 in 5000 people in the UK population. Collectively these disorders are termed 'mitochondrial diseases' and they result from either mitochondrial DNA mutations or defects in nuclear DNA. Although they are frequently multisystem disorders, neurological deficits are particularly common, w...
