متن کاملAuricular chondritis in rats. An experimental model of relapsing polychondritis induced with type II collagen
Outbred Wistar rats immunized with native type II collagen developed ear lesions resembling those of human relapsing chondritis. As in human disease, these lesions were characterized by intense chondritis, positive immunofluorescence reactions to IgG and C3, and circulating IgG reactive with native type II collagen. Furthermore, electron-dense deposits were seen near the surface of chondrocytes...
متن کاملAuricular chondritis and diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis in primary Sjögren's syndrome.
Bilateral auricular inflammation with histological changes of relapsing polychondritis was observed in a female patient with primary Sjögren's syndrome. This was accompanied by rapidly progressive renal insufficiency due to diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis. To our knowledge this is the first well documented case of primary Sjögren's syndrome associated with chondritis and glomerulonephr...
