Anti Phospholipid Syndrome

Chorea is a rare manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report on a young patient with chorea who was diagnosed initially with rheumatic fever. Follow up and further evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of SLE and anti-phospholipid syndrome. Of special interest were the negative antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies and the initial diagnosis of rheumatic fever which is still not uncommon problem in our region. The rarity of such presentation with joint and non specific increase of antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer might be the factors that led to an incorrect diagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment of SLE and anti-phospholipid syndrome are very crucial and should be considered with such presentation.

High Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate

The presence of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has rarely been described in one patient. This report describes an adolescent Polynesian male with RHD who developed SLE years later. Initially, he fulfilled modified Jones criteria for rheumatic fever with aortic insufficiency, transient arthritis, elevated streptococcal titers, and a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate with a negative antinuclear antibody (ANA). He responded well to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and penicillin prophylaxis, which supported the diagnosis of rheumatic fever. Five years after his RHD diagnosis, he developed pancreatitis with glomerulonephritis, nephrosis, and pancytopenia. In addition, laboratory results revealed that he had multiple autoantibodies: anti-Sm and extremely elevated anti-dsDNA and ANA, fulfilling diagnostic criteria for SLE. The patient was treated, and he responded to pulse steroids followed by oral steroid therapy. To our knowledge, there are no known reported cases of a patient who was diagnosed with both RHD and SLE and met the clinical criteria for both diseases. The rarity of this concurrent disease process in one patient suggests a possible overlap in humoral immunity toward self-antigens as well as ethnic variability that increases predisposition to rheumatologic diseases.

Lupus Érythémateux Systémique

L’association lupus érythémateux systémique et psoriasis est rarement rapportée dans la littérature. Elle pose des problèmes pathogéniques et thérapeutiques spécifiques. Nous rapportons l’observation d’une patiente de 48 ans présentant un psoriasis avec un rhumatisme psoriasique qui sont antérieurs au diagnostic du LES, de bonne évolution sous Méthotrexate. Particulièrement, notre observation illustre l’absence d’aggravation du psoriasis sous Hydroxy chloroquine.

Mitral stenosisis a valvular heart disease caused by a number of diseases. Chronic rheumatic fever is the most important cause. Among rare causes, some rheumatoid diseases like SLE may involve cardiovascular system causing libman- sacks endocarditis,pericardial diseases and other valvular lesions mostly associated with positive antiphospholipid and anticardiolipin antibody.Here, we presented a case of rheumatic mitral valvular heart disease having systemic lupus erythromatosus but negative antiphospholipid and anticardiolipin antibody.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2016; 31(2) : 109-112

Mechanisms responsible for anemia in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can be immune or non-immune. A 27-year-old previously healthy woman was admitted with echymotic patches over the lower limbs for six months, multiple joint pain and fatigue for 2 months. She had severe pallor and multiple echymotic patches over the lower limbs. She was diagnosed with SLE with pernicious anemia and iron deficiency anemia. The rare association of SLE with pernicious anemia was reported previously in few patients. Treatment of SLE along with B12 supplementation is necessary for such patients. Since etiology for anemia in SLE can be of various kinds, a detailed workup for identifying the underlying mechanism is necessary.
