Functional characterization of peripheral blood dendritic cells and monocytes i...

With the purpose of contributing to a better knowledge of the APCs functional activity in SLE, we evaluated the distribution and functional ability to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-12) of peripheral blood (PB) monocytes and DC (tDC), particularly myeloid (mDC) and CD14(-/low)CD16(+) DC subpopulations comparing them with those obtained from healthy individuals.

The authors present the case of a 44-year-old female patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus diagnosed 4 years earlier. She presented with constitutional symptoms and back pain and one month later a diagnosis of Non Hodgkin Lymphoma was established (subtype Diffuse Large B Cells Lymphoma). The risk of malignancy associated to SLE is discussed.

Rash, fever and proteinuria after amoxicillin in a SLE patient

We report a case of severe type IV hypersensitivity reaction to amoxicillin, which occurred in a person with a 12-year history of SLE. The present case illustrates the wide differential diagnosis in a SLE patient who presents with an allergic drug reaction. The attribution of the presenting symptoms to the underlying SLE and/or to the drugs used to treat SLE and coexisting conditions is a major challenge.

Perfil de risco cardiovascular numa população portuguesa de doentes com LES

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events, as compared to the general population. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of «traditional» cardiovascular risk factors in Portuguese SLE patients and to estimate the associated risk of cardiovascular events. To evaluate the needs for optimization of prophylactic measures to prevent cardiovascular e...

Um caso invulgar de dor generalizada: paramiloidose simulando fibromialgia

The authors report a case of a 52-year old female previously followed at the Outpatient Rheumatology Clinic with the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia (FM). Approximately 2 years after this diagnosis, she presents with a 2nd degree burn in a hand, as a result of thermal hypoesthesia. The patient described hipostesia of the distal upper and lower limbs, incontinence of the anal sphincter and chronic diarrhoea with progr...

Undifferentiated connective tissue disease: a seven-center cross-sectional stud...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the clinical and serological features of a large cohort of patients with antinuclear antibody (ANA) positive undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD). Consecutive patients with UCTD, followed up at the Rheumatology Clinic of the participating centers, were included. Data from these patients were obtained by clinical evaluation and chart review. All patients...
