Lupus cerebritis and steroid psychosis in mixed connective tissue disorder.
Neuropsychiatric disease may occur commonly in mixed connective tissue disorder (MCTD) and has been observed in up to 55 percent of patients. Aseptic meningitis has been described as the most common presentation, although psychosis, convulsions, peripheral neuropathy, trigeminal neuropathy, and cerebellar ataxia have also been described [1, 2]. Corticosteroid therapy is highly effective in the ...
متن کاملLupus cerebritis after visiting a tanning salon.
A 53-year-old female was admitted to the intensive care unit for lupus cerebritis; she had a 15-year history of stable lupus. Over the prior 1 to 2 months, the patient visited a tanning salon and this triggered the exacerbation of lupus. Her initial symptoms were cutaneous in the form of an erythematous rash. Within 2 weeks she started to have headaches and was admitted for seizure and psychosi...
متن کاملTime-dependent changes of autophagy and apoptosis in lipopolysaccharide-induced rat acute lung injury
Objective(s): Abnormal lung cell death including autophagy and apoptosis is the central feature in acute lung injury (ALI). To identify the cellular mechanisms and the chronology by which different types of lung cell death are activated during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI, we decided to evaluate autophagy (by LC3-II and autophagosome) and apoptosis (by caspase-3) at different time point...
متن کاملcerebritis and neutropenia in a child with ana negative lupus
objective systemic lupus erythematosus (sle), an autoimmune systemic disease with unknown etiology, affects virtually every part of the body; involvement of the central nervous system (cns) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) patients and is the least understood aspect of the disease. neutropenia is very uncommon in childhood lupus. true n...
متن کاملComplement in Lupus Nephritis
The complement cascade consists of a series of plasma proteins that not only play a vital role in destroying pathogens but also mediate humoral and cellular interactions within the immune system (Figure). Recent work, driven particularly by the availability of gene-targeted mice, has considerably increased our understanding of the links between the complement system and glomerular disease. In t...
