Lupus and pulmonary nodules consistent with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia induced by carbamazepine.

چکیده
Carbamazepine-induced lupus is uncommon; its frequency is less than 0.001% of the cases of lupus treated. Herein we describe a 52-year-old woman who had development of facial erythema, arthralgia, dyspnea, and multiple pulmonary rounded masses and nodules while she was taking carbamazepine for epilepsy. Pulmonary histologic examination showed bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia. Antinuclear antibodies and antihistone antibodies were present without antibodies to double-stranded DNA. Thirteen months after carbamazepine had been withdrawn, all symptoms had disappeared without the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. Even though pulmonary involvement is possible during carbamazepine treatment, to our knowledge, bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia on its own or associated with carbamazepine-induced lupus has not been previously described.

Here we describe a case of a secondary bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP), which was associated with repeated respiratory infections caused by carbamazepine (CBZ)- induced hypogammaglobulinaemia. A 49-year-old woman had been treated with CBZ (400 mg/day). Two and a half years later, she developed of dyspnea with productive cough and high-grade fever. Chest roentgenogram and co...
متن کاملIdiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia with multiple cavitary lung nodules.
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a pulmonary disorder with a wide spectrum of radiological features. We report the case of a 58 year old woman, in whom the radiological appearance was multiple cavitary nodules in both lungs, that responded with a complete resolution after corticosteroid therapy. This finding justifies the inclusion of BOOP in the differential diagnosis of...
متن کاملA Case of Balsalazide-Induced Limited Form of Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis with Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia-like Variant in Ulcerative Colitis
5-Aminosalicylate agents are the main therapeutic agents for ulcerative colitis. Balsalazide is a prodrug of 5-aminosalicylate and has fewer side effects than the other 5-aminosalicylate agents. Pulmonary complications resembling granulomatosis with polyangiitis in ulcerative colitis are extremely rare. Here, we report a patient with ulcerative colitis on balsalazide presenting respiratory symp...
متن کاملBronchiolitis obliterans and organising pneumonia caused by carbamazepine and mimicking community acquired pneumonia.
Bronchiolitis obliterans and organising pneumonia (BOOP) presents with fever, dyspnoea, and other features that may be mistaken for pneumonia. Treatment is, however, very different, requiring corticosteroids. A man was admitted as an emergency with fever, dyspnoea, and non-productive cough. The chest radiograph showed consolidation which, despite antibiotics, progressed to become bilateral. BOO...

A case of a 19-year-old man with ulcerative colitis (UC) developed multiple pulmonary nodular shadows with cavity formation, elevated perinuclear antinuclear cytoplasmic antibody (pANCA) and positive lymphocyte stimulation test by drug (DLST) for mesalazine suggesting mesalazine induced Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). Transbronchial biopsy specimens were consistent with WG and thoracoscopic biop...
