Connective Tissue Disease - Darrow Flashcards
autoimmune diseases
linked to HLA antigens
class I - A, B, C class II - D
class I - men class II - female
SLE
in black women
ANA, HLA-B8, DR2 and DR3 positive
seen with complement deficiency
arthralgia, rash on face, lung field rub, proteinuria, anemia
SLE
elevated ESR and normal CRP
in SLE
pericarditis
in SLE
diagnosis of SLE
requires 4 of 11 criteria
criteria for diagnosis of SLE
B3 O1 R1 N1
with
D3ermA1titiS1
B3 - blood
1 - heme disorder - anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia
2 - immunologic disorder - ds-DNA, Sm, APA, FPSTS
3 - ANA
O1
4 - oral ulcers
R1
5 - renal disorders - proteinuria or cellular casts
N1
6 - neurologic disorders - seizure or psychosis
D3
7 - malar rash
8 - discoid lupus
9 - photosensitivity
A1
10 - arthritis
S1
11 - serositis - pleuritis or pericarditis
speckled and rim pattern
in SLE
seizure of psychosis
in SLE
smoking
makes SLE rash worse
cough up blood
alveolar hemorrhage
-associated with SLE
non-infectious endocarditis
libman sacks
-associated with SLE
tx of SLE
hydroxychloroquine
- fight SLE
- stop anti-phospholipid Ab formation
before making diagnosis of SLE in patient
exclude drug induced lupus
splinter hemorrhages
with bacterial endocarditis
drug induced lupus
slow acetylators - if inhibit DNA methylation T cells - become autoreactive
sx with drug induced lupus
no renal disease
no CNS disease
+ anti-histone Abs
drugs triggering autoimmunogenicity
hydralazine isoniazid procainamide methimazole prophylthiouracil etanercept
anti-histone Abs
drug induced lupus
CI in pregnancy
CI in pregnancy
safe in pregnancy
azathioprine and HCQ
SLE vs. preeclampsia
abnormal liver test and high uric acid - preeclampsia
dsDNA, low C3/C4 and normal uric acid and liver tests - SLE
both have HTN, proteinuria, and thrombocytopenia
RO/SSA patient daughter born with
heart block
ring like or snake like plaque with central clearing
SCSLE - subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosis
-characteristic rash
RO-SSA and heart block in offspring
lupus anticoagulant
worst prognosis
venous and arterial clotting
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
diagnosis of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
1 clinical and 1 lab criteria - 3 months apart
lab
- anticardiolipid Ab
- lupus anticoagulant
- anti-beta2 glycoprotein 1
clinical
- spontaneous abortion
- vascular abortion
best correlation with thrombotic events in antiphospholipid Ab syndorme
lupus anticoagulant
russel viper venom test
confirmation of antiphospholipid Ab syndrome
tx with hydroxychloroquine
need to do retinal screening
small vessel vasculitis
cryoglobulinemia
giraffe type rash - livedo reticularis
cause of livedo reticularis
cryoglobulinemia
tightening skin and fibrosis
scleroderma
