N2 - Serositis is a rare manifestation of chronic GvHD (cGvHD). No risk factors or laboratory changes associated with this syndrome have been recognized to date, and outcomes have not been described in a large series. We searched our institutional database for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant identified as having serositis or pericarditis. Laboratory studies from prior to diagnosis, at diagnosis and post diagnosis of serositis, as well as outcomes from invasive procedures were included. Twenty patients met criteria for cGvHD-associated serositis, and all but three patients had a prior diagnosis of cGvHD. Fifteen were male, and the complication ...

Approximately 80% of the B cells in both compartments were CD5+ compared to 10% to 25% in normal adults. CD4/CD8 ratio and percentage CD4 were normal in peripheral blood. Serum levels of IgG (particularly IgG2), IL-6, and soluble IL-2R were slightly elevated, and those of IgA were significantly elevated compared to normal controls. Analysis of the pleural effusion revealed an increased CD4/CD8 ratio because of an increased percentage of ...

Results IFN-λ was detected in 76 (29,1%) patients and IFN-α in 115 (44%). In 108 patients (41.4%) neither of the cytokines was detected. Both IFN-λ and IFN-α were detected more often and in higher levels in patients. IFN-λ levels did not correlate to the levels of IFN-α, and only in 38 (14.5%) patients had detectable levels of both. Levels of IL-17, IL-23 and IP-10 correlated with each other and with IFN-λ. In comparison, only a weak correlation between levels of IFN-α and IL-23 was observed. Detectable levels of IFN-λ were associated with lower incidence of fever, photosensitivity and also arthritis. Patients with detectable IFN-α had active mucocutaneous disease, serositis and lower levels of C3 and C4, and also presence of anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB. Incidence of nefritis and DVT was lower in this group. Co-detection of IFN-α and IFN-λ was significantly associated with lymphadenopathy, serositis, cortical dysfunction and presence of antiphospolipid antibodies. IFN-α was ...

Suppression of the haematopoietic system, especially of the myeloid lineage, is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).1 In a recent report Euler et al suggested rhG-CSF as an effective treatment of neutropenia during SLE, especially during infection resistant to antibiotic treatment.2 We present a case of a girl with SLE whose neutropenia did not respond to rhG-CSF and who subsequently succumbed to untreatable fungal sepsis.. A previously healthy 9.5 year old girl developed SLE presenting with six of 11 criteria of the American College of Rheumatology including butterfly rash, oral ulcers, arthritis, and serositis. Laboratory investigations demonstrated ANA+, anti-dsDNA+, hypocomplementaemia, but normal white blood cell count. Eight months after initial remission she had a relapse, presenting with neutropenia (650 neutrophils/μl, 800 lymphocytes/μl) and signs of nephritis. Bone marrow biopsy examination showed a general suppression of all myeloid lineages including ...

Lupus patients with early-onset disease are less likely than those with late-onset lupus to suffer from lung disease. Thats according to a meta-analysis published recently in Seminars in Arthritis & Rheumatism.. Christie M. Bartels, of the University of Wisconsin in Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, and colleagues used PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane to identify 39 studies, including nearly 11,000 early-onset and more than 1,650 late-onset lupus patients. Early onset was defined to occur in patients who were 50-years-old or younger.. The late-onset group was almost three times likelier to develop interstitial lung disease, which often causes lung tissue scarring and affects breathing, than was the early-onset group. The late-onset lupus patients also had higher rates than did the early-onset patients of pleurisy and serositis, both of which involve inflammation of the tissue surrounding the lungs.. Age-related changes of the immune system, tobacco exposure, race, and ...

Methods We studied 248 patients fulfilling the 1997 ACR revised criteria for SLE. SLE-associated ITGAM SNP alleles were identified using custom-designed Immunochip arrays and gPLINK 1.062 software, with Bonferroni corrections for multiple comparisons. Associations of SLE-related ITGAM SNPs with SLE subphenotypes (malar or discoid rash, serositis, mouth ulcers, arthritis, haematological, renal or neurological involvement) and autoantibodies to dsDNA, Ro, RNP or Sm were determined with chi-square and Fishers tests and logistic regression. ...

Although extra intestinal manifestations are relatively common (13-45%) in patients with IBD [2], pulmonary manifestations are considered rare [1-3]. Moreover, while there have been reported cases of pulmonary manifestations in pediatric CD [7-9], this is the first reported case of interstitial lung involvement in a child with UC. In comparison, Camus and coworkers have described a number of pulmonary manifestations in adult patients with UC, including bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis, serositis and interstitial lung disease. Most (, 60%) of the patients manifested pulmonary symptoms during periods of quiescent bowel disease, and there was no correlation between age at bowel disease onset, and either the time of onset of respiratory symptoms or the degree of respiratory involvement. Although 8 patients were diagnosed with UC in childhood, all developed respiratory symptoms during adulthood. Moreover, proctocolectomy was not ...

GI manifestations may be present in up to 50% of patients with SLE. Anorexia, nausea, and vomiting are among the most common. Oral ulcerations (most commonly buccal erosions) were identified in 40% of one group of patients. Esophageal involvement, as esophagitis, esophageal ulceration, or esophageal dysmotility, seems to correlate with the presence of Raynauds phenomenon. Intestinal involvement results in abdominal pain, diarrhea, and occasionally hemorrhage. Intestinal ischemia may be present and may progress to infarction and perforation. Pneumatosis intestinalis in SLE is usually benign and transient but may represent an irreversible necrotizing enterocolitis. In addition, pancreatitis and abdominal serositis are well-recognized. Abnormal liver functions also occur. A vasculitic process has been implicated in the pathogenesis of GI manifestations..

BACKGROUND: Pasteurella multocida type A (PmA) is considered a secondary agent of pneumonia in pigs. The role of PmA as a primary pathogen was investigated by challenging pigs with eight field strains isolated from pneumonia and serositis in six Brazilian states. Eight groups of eight pigs each were intranasally inoculated with different strains of PmA (1.5 mL/nostril of 10e7 CFU/mL). The control group (n = 12) received sterile PBS. The pigs were euthanized by electrocution and necropsied by 5 dpi. Macroscopic lesions were recorded, and swabs and fragments of thoracic and abdominal organs were analyzed by bacteriological and pathological assays. The PmA strains were analyzed for four virulence genes (toxA: toxin; pfhA: adhesion; tbpA and hgbB: iron acquisition) by PCR and sequencing and submitted to multilocus sequence typing (MLST). RESULTS: The eight PmA strains were classified as follows: five as highly pathogenic (HP) for causing necrotic bronchopneumonia and diffuse fibrinous pleuritis and ...

Tiazofurin (2-B-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-Carboxamide: NSC 286193) is a nucleoside antimetabolite that acts as a potent inhibitor of IMP dehydrogenase resulting in a guanine nucleotide deprivation. Recent in vivo biochemical observations in rats bearing hepatoma suggested a correlation between depletion of guanine nuncleotides and antitumor effect. The present phase I trial utilized a weekly x 3 bolus infusion schedule, repeated every 5 weeks. Biochemical measurement of GTP and dGTP were performed in patients at each dose level. Twelve patients received 16 courses of the drug in doses ranging from 1100 to 2050 mg/m2 weekly x 3. The dose limiting toxicities were pericarditis and clinical symptoms suggestive of a more generalized serositis (chests and abdominal pain). Other toxicities included reversible elevations in CPK (MM band only) and SGOT, nausea, vomiting, and arthralgias. Neurotoxic effects were generally mild, including headaches, anxiety, and malaise. Only 1 of 6 patients evaluated for ...

The processes that lead to drug-induced lupus erythematosus are not entirely understood. The exact processes that occur are not known even after 50 years since its discovery, but many studies present theories on the mechanisms of DIL.[citation needed] A predisposing factor to developing DIL is N-acetylation speed, or the rate at which the body can metabolize the drug. This is greatly decreased in patients with a genetic deficiency of the enzyme N-acetyltransferase. A study showed that 29 of 30 patients with DIL were slow acetylators. In addition, these patients had more hydralazine metabolites in their urine than fast acetylators.[3] These metabolites (byproducts of the interactions between the drug and constituents in the body) of hydralazine are said to have been created when white blood cells have been activated, meaning they are stimulated to produce a respiratory burst.[4] Respiratory burst in white blood cells induces an increased production of free radicals and oxidants such as hydrogen ...

The objective of the study is to study the positivity of Coombs test or direct antiglobulin test (DAT) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and its relationship with diseases clinical and serological profile. Retrospective study of 373 SLE patients seen at single Rheumatology Unit. Epidemiological data (age, gender, age at disease onset, auto declared ethnic background and tobacco use), clinical (malar rash, photosensitivity, oral ulcers, discoid lesions, serositis, glomerulonephritis, convulsions, psychosis, hemolytic anemia, leukopenia, lymphocytopenia and arthritis), and serological profile (anti ds DNA, anti Ro/SS-A; anti La/SS-B, Anti RNP, Anti Sm, aCl (anticardiolipin) IgG, aCl Ig M, LA or lupus anticoagulant, rheumatoid factor and direct Coombs) were collected ...

The purpose of this protocol is to study the genetics and pathophysiology of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and other related diseases. FMF is a recessively inherited condition characterized by episodes of fever and serositis or synovitis; some patients also develop systemic amyloidosis. Our laboratory has identified the FMF gene and several disease-related mutations. The FMF gene encodes a protein called pyrin that is the prototype of a family of molecules involved in the regulation of apoptosis (cell-death) and inflammation. The precise biochemical mechanism by which these proteins function, and by which mutations cause disease, is still unknown.. There are a number of other conditions, sometimes referred to as autoinflammatory syndromes because of the lack of high-titer autoantibodies or antigen-specific T-cells that are also characterized by episodic inflammation. Seven are caused by mutations in five other genes: the TNF-receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is caused by ...

Familial Mediterranean fever is a hereditary autoinflammatory disease, mainly characterized by periodic fever and serositis. The level of awareness about familial Mediterranean fever is far from sufficient, and it is assumed that there may be many patients with this disease who are under observation without an accurate diagnosis. A 30-year-old Japanese man presented to us with a few years history of recurrent episodes of fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea. He often visited a hospital when the attacks occurred; however, acute enteritis was diagnosed each time, and the symptoms resolved spontaneously within a few days. When he noticed a shortening of the interval between the attacks, he visited the hospital again. Upper endoscopy and colonoscopy performed at this hospital revealed no significant abnormal findings. He was then referred to our hospital under the suspicion of a small intestinal disease. Abdominal computed tomography revealed wall thickening and increased density of the mesenteric adipose

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory genetic disorder resulting in recurrent attacks of fever, serositis, arthritis and rash. Late complications of untreated FMF include the development of renal amyloidosis. FMF is a rare orphan disease in the United States. Treatment with colchicine is effective in reducing the frequency of episodes in most patients and the development of amyloidosis in nearly all patients. However, there are still 5-15% of patients who continue to have acute FMF attacks despite colchicine therapy or are intolerant of colchicine, usually from gastrointestinal adverse effects. Currently there are no effective alternatives to colchicine. Pyrin, the mutated protein in FMF has an important role in the regulation of IL-1 beta production and activity. Mutations in pyrin result in increased IL-1 beta levels in mice and humans. IL-1 beta is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine. Thus, we hypothesize that inhibition of IL-1 will decrease acute ...

Dengue fever is a self-limiting, systemic viral illness that has a wide range of clinical manifestations. Last year dengue was severe in children with much mortality. This study was aimed to see the clinical profile of dengue and to find out the risk factors for developing severity. This cross sectional study was conducted over four months (June-September, 2018) in Department of Pediatrics of United Hospital Limited. All admitted dengue cases were analyzed. The predictors of developing severity were assessed by comparing variables between classical and severe dengue fever groups. A total of 106 children with Dengue fever were admitted. Mean age was 5.8±3 years with male predominance (60%). Common presentations include fever (100%), flushed appearance (72%), rash (43%), vomiting (39%), abdominal pain (36%), shock (28%) and respiratory distress (23%). In risk factor analysis, overweight (OR: 8.275, CI: 1.378-49.706) and massive serositis (OR: 17.86, CI: 4.733-67.399) were found statistically significant

A typical attack can be prevented with regular daily administration of colchicine in the most patients[1]. However about ten percent of patients do not respond to colchicine or are completely resistant to the drug[2]. There is no known option or adjunct to colchicine therapy although non-steroidal ...

Tocilizumab in the treatment of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis Miho Murakami,1 Minako Tomiita,2,3 Norihiro Nishimoto11Laboratory of Immune Regulation, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama, 2Department of Pediatrics, Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University, Chiba, 3Department of Allergy and Rheumatology, Chiba Childrens Hospital, Chiba, JapanAbstract: Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis is one of the common rheumatic diseases in childhood and characterized by spiking fever, evanescent skin rash, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and serositis, in addition to arthritis. Children with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis often show growth retardation and developmental abnormality, as well as macrophage activation syndrome, a life-threatening complication. Overproduction of interleukin-6 is pathologically responsible for the systemic inflammatory manifestations and abnormal laboratory results with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Thus, tocilizumab, a humanized antihuman

Familial Mediterranean Fever is an autoinflammatory disease typically expressed with recurrent attacks of fever, serositis, aphthous stomatitis, rash. Only a few reports describe the association with hepatic involvement. We describe the clinical case of a child affected, since the age of 1 year, by recurrent fever, aphthous stomatitis, rash, arthralgia, associated with abdominal pain, vomiting, lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of Familial Mediterranean Fever was confirmed by the genetic study of MEFV gene; the homozygous mutation M694 V in exon was documented. A partial control of attacks was obtained with colchicine. The child continued to manifest only recurrent episodes of abdominal pain without fever, however serum amyloid A persisted high, in association with enhanced levels of CRP, AST and ALT (1.5 x n.v.). The dosage of colchicine was increased step by step and the patient achieved a better control of symptoms and biochemical parameters. However, the patient frequently needed an increase in the

Pigs can be colonized by different microorganisms before weaning, but some of those early colonizing agents are potentially pathogenic. This is the case with Haemophilus parasuis, a commensal organism of the upper respiratory tract of swine that causes severe systemic disease characterized by fibrinous polyserositis, arthritis, and meningitis. Disease has a sudden onset, short course, and high morbidity and mortality. Young animals (4-8 wk old) are primarily affected, although sporadic disease can be seen in adults (eg, introduction of a naive adult to a healthy herd). Survivors can develop severe fibrosis in the abdominal and thoracic cavities, which can result in reduced growth rate and carcass condemnation at slaughter. Glässers disease is seen worldwide, and its incidence appears to have increased since the introduction of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome ().

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary inflammatory disorder. FMF is an autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in Mediterranean fever gene, which encodes a 781-amino acid protein called pyrin. While all ethnic groups are susceptible to FMF, it usually occurs in people of Mediterranean origin-including Sephardic Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Arabs, Greeks, Turks and Italians. The disorder has been given various names, including familial paroxysmal polyserositis, periodic peritonitis, recurrent polyserositis, benign paroxysmal peritonitis, periodic disease or periodic fever, Reimann periodic disease or Reimanns syndrome, Siegal-Cattan-Mamou disease, and Wolff periodic disease. Note that periodic fever can also refer to any of the periodic fever syndromes. There are seven types of attacks. Ninety percent of all patients have their first attack before they are 18 years old. All develop over 2-4 hours and last anywhere from 6 hours to 4 days. Most attacks involve ...

Introduction. Haemophilus parasuis is the causative agent of Glässers disease in swine, a disease characterised by fibrinous polyserositis, meningitis and polyarthritis (Li et al. 2009; Olvera, Segalés & Aragón 2007). In recent years, diseases in swine caused by H. parasuis have attracted worldwide attention (Baumann & Bilkei 2002). It is therefore necessary to carry out timely and effective monitoring of H. parasuis to identify strains circulating between farm animals as a means of defining the epidemiology and types of H. parasuis strains present in respective areas in order to control and prevent outbreaks.. Haemophilus parasuis is a slow-growing, fastidious organism with specific nutritional requirements, making its isolation difficult (Oliveira, Galina & Pijoan 2001). Moreover, detection of H. parasuis using conventional methods, including culture, biochemical or immunological assays is not effective and requires several days to complete (Angen et al. 2007). The polymerase chain ...
