A case of lepromatous leprosy with erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) presenting as a myeloid leukemoid reaction is reported. Very high leucocyte count with immaturity of the cells in myeloid series was present in peripheral blood. High leucocyte alkaline phosphatase score, absence of
A histochemical study of ENL lesions was performed on skin biopsies from 14 leproma-tous patients. There was: 1) the presence of moderate amounts of PAS positive diastase resistant materials, acid mucopolysaccharide, neutral fat, phospholipid, aryl sulfatase and acid phosphatase in areas around and
The patient was a 45-year-old male who had been diagnosed with pancytopenia in 1998 at another hospital, where he continued treatment for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) as an outpatient. After atypical lymphocytes were detected in his peripheral blood, he was admitted to our hospital for
Reccurrent abnormalities of polymorphonuclear leukocyte and monocyte bactericidal activity were demonstrated in a patient with sarcoidosis. Defective function occurred during hypercalcemia complicating recovery from Listeria meningitis, and during separate, unrelated episodes of erythema nodosum,
Parvovirus B19 (B19), also known as "erythema infectiosum", is a disease that occurs in smaller outbreaks during late winter and early summer; and in Denmark an epidemic occurs every three years. The symptoms vary from fever, fatigue and the characteristic maculopapoulous erythema to asymptomatic
We report a case of primary biliary cirrhosis with negative anti-mitochondrial antibody which were anteceded by rheumatoid arthritis. The patient was a 46-year-old female who was admitted due to low grade fever and elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase
Neddle biopsies of the liver were performed in 121 cases of sarcoidosis. Granulomas compatible with sarcoidosis were seen in 24 percent of the cases. Liver function tests (serum alkaline phosphatase, serum aspartate aminotransferase, serum alanine aminotransferase, and bromsulphthalein clearance
Cowden syndrome (CS) is a phosphatase and tensin homolog gene (PTEN)-associated condition characterized by multiple mucocutaneous hamartomas and an increased risk of malignancies. We reported an isolated case and another of several individuals in one family affected by CS. The isolated case showed
This paper reports a rare case of Hodgkin's disease with Sjögren syndrome in the course of Behçet's disease. A 43-year-old man developed arthralgia of bilateral knees, ankles, elbows and wrists in May, 1988. He had hazy vision and was diagnosed as having iridocyclitis and chorioretinitis in
Joint symptoms in sarcoidosis are early manifestations of this systemic disease; patients with such symptoms, however, are seldom examined by a rheumatologist. The authors investigated 72 patients in whom a definite diagnosis of sarcoidosis had been made at the 1. University Clinic for Tuberculosis
OBJECTIVE
To describe current progress in understanding pyoderma gangraenosum, illustrate clinical observations and discuss therapeutic interventions.
RESULTS
The proline-rich, glutamic acid-rich, serine-rich and threonine-rich (PEST) family of protein tyrosine phosphatases is a critical regulator
Yersinia enterocolitica infection in humans causes a broad spectrum of diseases ranging from acute bowel disease to extraintestinal manifestations such as reactive arthritis, erythema nodosum and uveitis. During the last decade a fascinating part of the molecular biology of the pathogenicity of
