Neutrophilic Skin Lesions in Autoimmune Connective Tissue Diseases
The pathophysiology of neutrophilic dermatoses (NDs) and autoimmune connective tissue diseases (AICTDs) is incompletely understood. The association between NDs and AICTDs is rare; recently, however, a distinctive subset of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE, the prototypical AICTD) with neutrophilic histological features has been proposed to be included in the spectrum of lupus. The aim of our s...
متن کاملRenal involvement in autoimmune connective tissue diseases
Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that share certain clinical presentations and a disturbed immunoregulation, leading to autoantibody production. Subclinical or overt renal manifestations are frequently observed and complicate the clinical course of CTDs. Alterations of kidney function in Sjögren syndrome, systemic scleroderma (SSc), auto-immune myopathies...
متن کاملRegulatory B cells in skin and connective tissue diseases.
While B cells are generally considered to be positive regulators of humoral immune responses due to their ability to differentiate into plasmablasts/plasma cells and produce antibodies, B cells also modulate immune responses through antigen presentation and cytokine secretion. Moreover, "regulatory B cells" that suppress immune responses have been recognized as an important new component of the...
متن کاملA Histopathologic Study of Connective Tissue Diseases of Skin
Cutaneous involvement is a prominent feature in connective tissue disease and the skin lesions are extremely important in diagnosing and subclassifying patients with these conditions. Fifty cases of connective tissue diseases of skin were studied over a period of two years to analyze overlapping of histopathological features, possible transformation of one disease to the other and co-existing c...
متن کاملAutoimmune and connective tissue disorders
Pregnant women with autoimmune rheumatic diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and systemic sclerosis, are at high risk of maternal disease flares, adverse fetal outcomes and potential drug teratogenic effects, making the management of these women particularly challenging. With improvements in diagnosis and treatment, however, these risks can be minimized by appropriate timing...
