Neutrophilic Dermatoses in Autoimmune Diseases: Report of Two Cases Associated with Autoimmune Thyroiditis
نویسنده
چکیده
The term "neutrophilic dermatoses" includes a rare inflammatory pattern characterized by neutrophil-rich cutaneous infiltrate. Both innate and adaptive immune pathways may be involved in neutrophil recruitment. Occasionally, neutrophilic dermatoses may occur in association with autoimmune thyroiditis. Pathogenetic aspects of this autoimmune disorder may elucidate their possible connection. Two exemplificative cases are taken as a pretext for a short review of this topic.

متن کاملHistiocytoid autoimmunity-related neutrophilic dermatosis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
Autoimmunity-associated neutrophilic dermatoses are a recently recognized manifestation of connective tissue diseases, in particular, lupus erythematosus. These entities are clinically and sometimes histopathologically distinct from classic neutrophilic dermatoses. We describe a case of an autoimmunity-related neutrophilic dermatosis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. In addition to this u...

BACKGROUND The neutrophilic dermatoses comprise a group of cutaneous disorders that are characterized histopathologically by infiltration of the dermis with mature neutrophils with or without vessel wall destruction. Neutrophilic dermatoses have been reported in association with a variety of autoimmune diseases, most recently as a manifestation of lupus erythematosus. OBSERVATIONS We describe...

Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease which is characterized by depigmented patches due to loss of pigment cells. Evidence suggests that cell-mediated immunity plays a role in melanocyte destruction while some patients have antibodies to melanocytes or melanocytic proteins. Vitiligo is strongly associated with a number of autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune thyroiditis is the most prevalent disea...

Background & Objective: Autoimmune bullous diseases are associated with autoimmunity against structural components in the skin and mucous membranes. Autoantibodies are against the intercellular junctions in pemphigus disease and hemidesmosomal unchoring complex in pemphigiod diseases and epidermolysis bullosa aquisita. The tissue-bound and circulating serum autoantibodies can be detect...
