Acute renal failure, systemic lupus erythematosus and thrombotic microangiopathy following treatment with beta-interferon for multiple sclerosis: case report and review of the literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a man with type 1 diabetes mellitus, autoimmune hypothyroidism and a tentative diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Following treatment with beta interferon, he developed systemic lupus erythematosus with pericarditis, pleural effusions, cerebral infarction associated with anti-phospholipid antibody and acute renal failure due to thrombotic microangiopathy. He responded well to immunosuppression and anticoagulation. These complications may represent the most severe autoimmune reaction to beta interferon reported to date.

BACKGROUND Interferon-beta (IFN-beta) is one of the most widely prescribed medications for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). IFN-related thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare but severe complication, with a fulminant clinical onset and a possibly life-threatening outcome that may occur years after a well-tolerated treatment with IFN. Most patients evolve rapidly to advanced ch...
متن کاملThrombotic microangiopathy associated with use of interferon-beta
Interferon-beta is widely used for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis. The drug is usually well tolerated, but autoimmune adverse effects, including kidney disease, have been reported. Only a few cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome-thrombotic microangiopathy associated interferon-alpha have been described so far, and even fewer with beta-interferon. We report a patient who developed t...
