Chronic meningococcemia cutaneous lesions involve meningococcal perivascular invasion through the remodeling of endothelial barriers.
Chronic meningococcemia is a form of sepsis with frequent polymorphous skin lesions. Both in vivo and in vitro data suggest that, in these lesions, meningococci gain access from the capillary lumen to the peripheral extravascular compartment, in the absence of vascular dislocation, through a paraendothelial route.

IMPORTANCE Although chronic meningococcemia is an uncommon disorder, it is of great importance to clinicians across multiple disciplines because it presents similarly to reactive, neoplastic, or rheumatic disorders. Ruling out chronic meningococcemia, however, represents a diagnostic challenge because routine microbiological investigations frequently fail to identify Neisseria meningitidis. Alt...
متن کاملParticular cutaneous lesions and chronic renal failure
A 40-year-old woman with no particular history was referred to our nephrology unit for long-standing, slowly developing chronic renal insufficiency. The blood pressure was 180/80 mmHg. Serum creatinine was 340 μmol/l and GFR 32 ml/min. Proteinuria was 0.35 G/24 h. The urinary sediment was bland. Ultrasonography disclosed two symmetrical, moderately atrophic kidneys. The diagnosis was made at fi...
متن کاملTGF-ß1 Latency Associated Peptide Promotes Remodeling of Healing Cutaneous Wounds in the Rat
Background: The process of wound healing involves integrated events including inflammation, granulation tissue formation, matrix deposition and remodeling. Growth factors play a key role in the process. Among them transforming growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1) is known to accelerate tissue repair by promoting the synthesis and deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. However, persistence or overact...
