Neurobrucellosis 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 کاملNatural killer cell activity in untreated systemic lupus erythematosus.
With strictly selected controls natural killer cell activity was evaluated in 10 untreated patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Natural killer levels of the patients were significantly lower than those of the age- and sex-matched normal controls. Natural killer levels, however, did not correlate with disease activity.
متن کاملRecent findings on the role of natural killer cells in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic, multifactorial autoimmune disease of complex etiology, characterized by loss of tolerance to nuclear autoantigens, expansion of autoreactive T and B cell clones, polyclonal B cell activation that gives rise to hypergammaglobulinemia, and increased autoantibody production, as well as immune complex deposition and multiorgan tissue inflammation. As disea...
متن کاملModulatory Function of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease with complex immunological and clinical manifestations. Multiple organ failure in SLE can be caused by immune dysfunction and deposition of autoantibodies. Studies of SLE-susceptible loci and the cellular and humoral immune responses reveal variable aberrations associated with this systemic disease. Invariant natura...
متن کاملRole of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells in systemic lupus erythematosus.
Natural killer T (NKT) cells represent a unique T cell lineage. The NKT cells bearing an invariant TCR (iNKT cells) recognize a small variety of glycolipid antigens in the context of CD1d (non-classical MHC-I) presentation. CD1d-restricted iNKT cells play a regulatory role during an immune response by producing cytokines (IFN-gamma, and IL-4). The identification of alpha-galactosyl-ceramide (al...
