Anti-synthetase syndrome: a new autoantibody to phenylalanyl transfer RNA synthetase (anti-Zo) associated with polymyositis and interstitial pneumonia.
OBJECTIVE Autoantibodies directed against the aminoacyl tRNA synthetases are associated with myositis, arthritis, Raynaud's phenomenon, mechanic's hands, fever and interstitial pneumonia, clinically referred to as the anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS). The aim of this study was to characterize the autoantibody profile in a patient with clinical features of ASS whose routine diagnostic testing was ...
متن کاملSuccessful adjuvant treatment of recalcitrant epidermolysis bullosa acquisita with anti-CD20 antibody rituximab.
A 46-year-old man of Turkish origin presented with a 4-month-history of blisters on both erythematous and apparently normal skin as well as erosions on oral mucous membranes. At a body weight of 75 kg, he had been treated with dapsone (150 mg/d) and prednisolone (initially 250 mg/d, then 100 mg/d), while new lesions continued to arise. After 1 month, dapsone was changed to azathioprine (100 mg/...
متن کاملSuccessful treatment of mucous membrane pemphigoid with the anti-CD-20 antibody rituximab.
101 Letters to the Editor Sir, Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is an often difficult to treat autoimmune bullous disease characterized by circulating auto-antibodies targeting the dermo-epidermal junctional zone (1–3). Due to limited disease control and/or severe adverse reactions to glucocorticoids and conventional immunosuppressants, alternative treatment options are frequently needed. We de...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Dual-Positive Anti-Myeloperoxidase and Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Antibody Vasculitis with Pulmonary-Renal Syndrome
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis and anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease are two separate diseases, while sometimes they can coexist together. The exact mechanisms are not clear, but due to the rapid progression and poor prognosis, prompt and aggressive treatment is usually required. We treated with steroids combined with cyclophosphamide and rituxima...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Refractory Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura with Rituximab, a Monoclonal Antibody: a Case Report
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is mostly attributed to the presence of an autoantibody against ADAMTS-13, a metalloprotease that degrades ultralarge von Willebrand protein multimers. Accumulation of vWF multimers and systemic platelet aggregation lead to microangiopathic thrombosis, hemolytic anemia, and end-organ ischemia. Most patients respond to therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), ...
