Antiphospholipid syndrome in a patient with rapidly progressive fibrosing alveolitis.
The antiphospholipid syndrome is a thrombotic disorder which can occur in a primary form or more classically in systemic lupus erythematosus. An association between cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis and the antiphospholipid syndrome has not previously been reported. We describe a patient with severe cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis who developed pulmonary embolism and myocardial infarction in th...
متن کاملLung transplantation in a patient with fibrosing alveolitis.
The transplantation of the right lung into a man aged 40 who was suffering from cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis is described. Before transplantation he had been dependent on oxygen, even at rest, for 24 hours a day for almost two years. The donor was a boy of 16 years who had had a fatal cerebral haemorrhage. The transplanted lung functioned perfectly from the time of operation until the patie...
متن کاملFibrosing alveolitis.
Fibrosing alveolitis is a disease of unknown cause mainly involving the gas-exchanging portions of the lungs. It may occur in isolation and be called cryptogenic or idiopathic, in which case the clinical manifestations are mainly respiratory, or it may be associated with other disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. The histopathologic abnormalities of the pulmonary tissue are identical in eit...
متن کاملSurvival in fibrosing alveolitis associated with rheumatoid arthritis is better than cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis.
SIR, Hubbard and Venn w1x have used a novel approach by using the general practice research database to show that the survival in fibrosing alveolitis associated with connective tissue disease (FA-CTD) is as bad as in lone cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis (LCFA). The result is contrary to current view w2x that FA-CTD is more benign than LCFA. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) accounts for the major pro...
متن کاملNeutrophil activation in fibrosing alveolitis: a comparison of lone cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis and systemic sclerosis.
Fibrosing alveolitis complicating systemic sclerosis (FASSc) carries a better prognosis than lone cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis (CFA). We wanted to determine whether this improved prognosis is associated with differential neutrophil migration and activation in the lower respiratory tract. We therefore compared bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) neutrophil numbers and levels of neutrophil-derived e...
