Rheumatoid Arthritis with Amyloidosis.
Secondary amyloidosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is a dangerous complication which accounts for a significant number of early deaths (Gedda, 1955). Although it is not rare, most of the reported cases were not diagnosed until after death. Missen and Taylor (1956) reviewed the relevant literature and found 97 cases in which the diagnosis of amyloidosis was made at autopsy, and only 28 ...

Amyloids are insoluble fibrous protein aggregates sharing specific structural traits. Abnormal accumulation of amyloid in organs may lead to amyloidosis, and may play a role in various diseases. The name amyloid comes from the early mistaken identification of the substance as starch (amylum in Latin), based on crude iodine-staining techniques. For a period, it was debated whether or not amyloid...
متن کاملSystemic AL amyloidosis mimicking rheumatoid arthritis.
We report a patient with myeloma-associated systemic AL amyloidosis who showed chronic polyarthralgia as the main symptom. The clinical picture was similar to that of rheumatoid arthritis with regard to symmetrical swelling with tenderness in multiple joints, but inflammatory reactions were almost normal and autoantibodies were negative. He was diagnosed as having systemic AL amyloidosis based ...
متن کاملAmyloidosis in rheumatoid arthritis treated with hormones.
Experimental evidence suggests that treatment with cortisone orACTH increases the rate of accumulation of tissue amyloid. Thus Teilum (1952) has shown that mice previously treated with casein in doses insufficient to cause amyloidosis accumulate amyloid quickly in the spleen after a small number of injections of cortisone. Latvalahti (1953) has confirmed this observation and has shown that mice...
