Interpretation of C-reactive protein values in systemic lupus erythematosus
A significant rise in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often reflects a co-existent infection or associated serositis. A number of investigators have proposed that the level of CRP can differentiate between infected and non-infected SLE patients. However, there have been conflicting views as to the usefulness of CRP measurement in SLE. Hind et ...
متن کاملNeurobrucellosis in systemic lupus erythematosus
Background: Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection which is endemic in many countries. It is a multisystem disease which may present with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations and complications. 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 کاملIs there a relationship between serum C-reactive protein level and dyslipidaemia in systemic lupus erythematosus?
AIM to look for the association between CRP and dyslipidaemia in SLE. METHODS seventy six patients fulfilled the American College of Rheumatology criteria for classification of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) (revised in 1997) were enrolled in our study. Clinical and laboratory measures included complete history and physical examination, determination of serum CRP level by latex agglutinat...
متن کاملC-reactive protein and serological indices of disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus.
The concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) in sera from 70 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) showed no correlation with commonly accepted laboratory indices of disease activity. Most patients had detectable serum CRP, but in some patients CRP was not found despite repeated testing. This absence of a CRP response did not appear to be related to medication. In some patients high...
متن کاملPolymorphism at the C-reactive protein locus influences gene expression and predisposes to systemic lupus erythematosus.
Relative deficiency of pentraxin proteins is implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus. The C-reactive protein (CRP) response is defective in patients with acute flares of disease, and mice with targeted deletions of the serum amyloid P component gene (Sap) develop a lupus-like illness. In humans, the genes for CRP (CRP) and SAP (APCS) map to 1q23.2 within an interval linke...
