چکیده
Results 13 Juvenile-SLE female patients were included, with disease onset between 6 and 16 years of age (mean 11,8 years), and mean disease duration of 6,6 years (2-15 years). One patient had moderate to severe aortic regurgitation (AoR), one had pulmonary hypertension (HTP), 5 patients had systemic hypertension (HTA); none smoked. The majority of patients presented at least one criteria of LV diastolic dysfunction. E/A ratio was normal in 6 patients and showed restrictive pattern in 4. E/E` septal ratio showed increased left atrium pressure in 2 patients. E/Vp ratio was clearly abnormal in 3 cases, predicting high mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. Reduced propagation velocity of the mitral valve (Vp) was observed in 4 cases, implying impaired relaxation. LV systolic function was preserved in all cases, with normal Tei index. RV systolic function was normal in all patients except for one, with AoR (TDI S velocity 9,3 cm/s, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) 14,8 mm). RV diastolic function markers were altered in some patients: decreased peak velocity of E wave in 4 patients, with increased A’ wave velocity in 1 patient (HTP case). E/E’and E/A ratios were normal in all cases. RV outflow tract acceleration time was decreased (implying increased mean pulmonary artery pressure) in the patient with HTP. Due to the small sample size, no correlations with other clinical or laboratorial markers were statistically significant. BNP was increased only in the AoR patient.

Association of HLA-DRB1 Alleles in Juvenile-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in Iranian Children
Introduction Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Many studies show HLA alleles can be associated with SLE. The aim of this study was to determine the association of HLA-DRB1 alleles with juvenile- onset in Iranian children. Materials and Methods At a case – control study, 31 children with systemic lupus erythematosus (case group) who referred to ...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin Antibodies in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...

متن کاملIsolated thrombocytopenia report of a rare presentation of childhood Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has various presentations in children. Hematologic abnormalities is common in childhood onset of SLE, however, isolated thrombocytopenia is relatively rare. Thus, we present a child with isolated thrombocytopenia as a rare presentation of SLE. Case presentation: A 12-year-old boy with chief complaints of loss of appetite, weight loss, decrease...

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus is a systemic autoimmune disorder with unclear etiology. The importance of some genes in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus has been implicated. The gene polymorphism in codon 72 has attracted a lot of attention and its role in the occurrence or progression of many cancers and autoimmune diseases especially systemic lupus erythematosus has ...
