Neurobrucellosis is an uncommon complication of brucellosis. Case presentation: A 25-year-old woman with a history of lupus for 5 months referred to the emergency ward of Shahid Beheshti Hosp...
متن کاملEndothelial inclusions and "nuclear bodies" in systemic lupus erythematosus.
In recent years many reports on special cytoplasmic inclusions in cells of involved tissues of various organs in a number of 'autoimmune' diseases have been published. Most frequently, these inclusions are demonstrated in the endothelial cells of blood vessels, and are therefore often called 'endothelial inclusions' (El), though they are occasionally found in fibroblasts, pericytes, macrophages...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr Virus and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
The etiology of SLE is not fully established. SLE is a disease with periods of waning disease activity and intermittent flares. This fits well in theory to a latent virus infection, which occasionally switches to lytic cycle, and EBV infection has for long been suspected to be involved. This paper reviews EBV immunobiology and how this is related to SLE pathogenesis by illustrating uncontrolled...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus and molecular mimicry in systemic lupus erythematosus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is a complex disease with a multifactoral etiology, with genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. Molecular mimicry as a result of viral infection may contribute to the development of lupus. The pattern of autoantibody development in lupus is consistent with initiation through molecular mimicry, as the initial autoantigenic epitopes that have ...
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 ...
