Lupus cor pulmonale with electron microscope and immunofluroescent antibody studies.

چکیده
A case of systemic lupus erythemaosus with an unusual complication of pulmonary hypertension leading to cor pulmonale is reported. Lung biopsy showed an interstitial pneumonitis with pulmonary vascular narrowing causing pulmonary hypertension. These changes appeared to be immunologically mediated by the utilization of IgG and C3. Microtubular virus-like particles were present in the endothelial cell cytoplasm of both lung and kidney.

متن کاملChronic cor pulmonale in pulmonary sarcoidosis.
Right-heart overload happens relatively rarely in sarcoidosis, even with fibroemphysematous changes. Of 21 cases that we studied, six (28%) had clinical and/or electrocardiographic features of cor pulmonale. The cause of cor pulmonale often evoked is an invasion of the walls of pulmonary vessels by sarcoid granulomas or their compression by the fibrotic process. Pathological studies in one pati...
