We report a case of BSLE in a 10-year-old child with systemic lupus erythematosus, treated with prednisone and hydroxychloroquine. There was complete remission with

16. Nail abnormalities in patients with vitiligo
Abstract: Background: Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary skin disorder affecting 0.1-4% of the general population. The nails may be affected in patients with an autoimmune disease such as psoriasis, and in those with alopecia areata. It has been suggested that nail abnormalities should be apparent in vitiligo patients. Objective: We sought to document the

17. Immunofluorescence testing in the diagnosis of autoimmune blistering diseases: overview of 10-year experience
BACKGROUND: Immunofluorescence testing is an important tool for diagnosing blistering diseases. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the immunofluorescence findings in patients diagnosed with autoimmune blistering skin diseases. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed immunofluorescence results encompassing a 10-year period. RESULTS: 421 patients were included and divid

18. Vitiligo - Part 2 - classification, histopathology and treatment
In an unprecedented effort in the field of vitiligo, a global consensus resulted on a suggested new classification protocol for the disease. The main histopathological finding in vitiligo is the total absence of functioning melanocytes in the lesions, while the inflammatory cells most commonly found on the edges of the lesions are CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes

19. Syndrome in Question
Multiple autoimmune syndrome is a rare condition, described by Humbert and Dupond in 1988. It is defined by the association of at least 3 autoimmune diseases in the same patient. Vitiligo is the most common skin condition in this syndrome. This article presents the case of a 31-year-old male with vitiligo, alopecia areata, Crohn's disease, psoriasis vulgaris

20. The use of Mycobacterium tuberculosis HspX and GlcB proteins to identify latent tuberculosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterised by the destruction of articular cartilage and bone damage. The chronic treatment of RA patients causes a higher susceptibility to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB); one-third of the world’s population is latently infected (LTBI) with Mycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb). The tuberculin

21. Bullous Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: case report
INTRODUCTION: Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE) is an autoantibody-mediated disease with subepidermal blisters. It is a rare form of presentation of SLE that occurs in less than 5% of cases of lupus. CASE REPORT: A 27-year-old, female, FRS patient reported the appearance of painful bullous lesions in the left nasal wing and left buccal mucosa that

22. Relationship of macrophage migration inhibitory factor levels in PBMCs, lesional skin and serum with disease severity and activity in vitiligo vulgaris
Melanocyte loss in vitiligo vulgaris is believed to be an autoimmune process. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is involved in many autoimmune skin diseases. We determined the possible role of MIF in the pathogenesis of vitiligo vulgaris, and describe the relationship between MIF expressions and disease severity and activity. Serum MIF concentrati

23. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry of depigmented lesions in lupus erythematosus / Análise histopatológica e imunohistoquímica das lesões vitiligóides no lúpus eritematoso cutâneo
Lupus Erythematosus (LE) is an autoimmune disorder with multiple clinical manifestations. Skin damage is a hallmark of the disease. Cutaneous LE (CLE) includes acute LE (ACLE), subacute LE (SCLE) and chronic LE (CCLE). Although achromic lesions are often found in patients with LEC, there are no detailed data about the histological features of such lesions. T

24. Pênfigo foliáceo em cães
As doenças cutâneas auto-imunes decorrem da produção de anticorpos e/ou da ativação de linfócitos contra os componentes próprios da pele. O pênfigo foliáceo é a forma mais comum do complexo pênfigo e provavelmente a doença auto-imune mais freqüente em cães. O pênfigo foliáceo é caracterizado pela deposição de anticorpos nas membranas dos
