Immunopathology II Flashcards
how does acute GVHD affect skin
rash exfoliation
how does acute GVHD affect GI
ulcerative gastroenteritis
how does acute GVHD affect liver
bile duct necrosis
what is the mechanism of acute GVHD
donor cytotoxin T cells or cytokines from helper T cells destroy epithelial celsl
when does chronic GVHD happen
after resolution of acute GVHD or without acute phase
what does the morphology of chornic GVHD miminc
systemic sclerosis
what does chronic GVHD cause
generalized fibrosis of GI, Skin, LIver, and broncholes of lunch
what critieria is required for an autoimmune diseaes
immunological reaction to self=Ag or native tissue
reaction is primary to pathogensis
no other etiology
polymorpims is what gene is often implicated in autoimmunity
PTPN-22
how do microbes influence auto-immunity
increase expression of APC co-stimulatory molcules, non-soecific B and T cell stimulation
what is the prototypical multisystem disorder
SPE
What is the ACR diagnositic creteria for SPE
malar rash discoid rash photsensitivty oral ulcers arthritis serositis renal diorder neurologic hemotologic antinuclear antibodies
mala rash
butterfly rash
discoid rash
scaely
serositis
ST elevation of EKG
what is the hematologic disorder seen in SPE pts
hemolytic anemia or leukopenia or lyophopeia or thrombocytopenia
what locus is associated with SPE
HLA-DQ
what are the most common clinical signs in SPE pts
hematologic arthritis skin fever fatique weight loss renal
what is the hallmark of lupus
antinuclear antibodies
how do you test for ANA
fluorescnese
homogenous ANA pattern indicates
RA or drug induced SLE
rim pattern of staining indictaes
dsDNA, SLE active flares
speckled ANA pattern inidcates
anti-smith Ab of SLE, systemic sclerosis, sjogren’s syndrome
nucleolar ANA pattern inidcates what
SLE, systemic sclerosis, CREST
centromere pattern inidcates
systemic sclerosis, CREST
type II mechanism in lupus
against blood cells, causes frequent hematologic abnormalites
type III mechanism in lupus
visceral lesions
how are joints affects in lupus
synovitis without deformity
how are joints affects in lupus
synovitis without deformity
acute lupus vascular changes
vasculitis with fibrinoid necrosis of arteries/arterioles in any tissue
chronic lupus vascular changes
layered fibrous thickening - onion skin looking
lupus nephritis
prototype of immune complex glomerulnephritis
