We present two pseudolymphoma occurring 8 days and 1 month after carbamazepine introduction. Both patients present fever, rash, generalized lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly in the second case. Hematologic abnormalities included anemia, eosinophilia, hepatic cytolysis. Histologic evaluation of
Immune-mediated drug reactions are a potentially life-threatening complication of antiseizure medications. Drug hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) is the best recognised of these, presenting with fever, eosinophilia, rash and internal organ involvement. Isolated lymphadenopathy is a less recognized
Pseudolymphoma is a drug reaction to anti-epileptics that is well recognized in humans; it has been reported in one cat but not dogs. In this report, lymphoma-like clinical signs are suspected to be secondary to phenobarbital administration in a dog. A 2.5-year-old male, neutered Shepherd mix
This article describes the clinical history of a woman aged 75 with a pseudolymphoma syndrome that was probably a consequence of the use of carbamazepine. This syndrome is characterised by lymphadenopathy, fever and a generalised rash. These signs can easily be confused with the existence of a true
BACKGROUND
The phenytoin-induced hypersensitivity syndrome is characterized by the development of fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, and hepatitis associated with leukocytosis and eosinophilia. This article describes the unusual occurrence of a pseudo-Sézary syndrome in the days following the
The syndrome of periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) is an autoinflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology. Tonsillectomy may cause a prompt resolution of the syndrome. The aim was to study the histologic and immunological aspects of the palatine tonsils in
A 5-year-old girl presented with a facial butterfly rash that persisted for 5 months without arthralgia, fever, malaise, photosensitivity, or other symptoms. Lupus erythematosus was clinically suspected. All blood tests were negative or within normal values. Skin biopsy showed a dense nodular
BACKGROUND
Pseudolymphoma syndrome (PLS) is relatively rare but can lead to death if there are extensive skin lesions, severe hepatitis, agranulocytosis and neutropenia. PLS may also give rise to harmful effects if misdiagnosed as malignant lymphoma and patients with PLS are treated unnecessarily
A 44-year-old woman known to be allergic to phenytoin was treated with carbamazepine for 1 month and developed fever, lymphadenopathy, pneumonitis, hepatitis, and a morbilliform eruption. A skin biopsy specimen showed atypical lymphocytes in the dermis that were CD-3+, CD-30+, and L26-. T-cell gene
The pseudolymphoma syndrome is a reversible reactive condition consisting of fever, lymphadenopathy and generalized rash. Initial cases were associated with anticonvulsants, although other drugs have now been implicated. We report on a case associated with atenolol.
Five cases of pseudolymphoma syndrome (PS) in children aged six to twelve years were observed after anticonvulsant drugs. In two cases PS was observed after ten days and in three after fifteen days of therapy with the offending drug. Three cases of PS were due to carbamazepine and had morbilliform
A 61-year-old woman with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) presented with fever, dry cough, dyspnea on exertion, and a mass lesion with reticular shadowing at both bases on her chest X-ray. Pulmonary pseudolymphoma was diagnosed by transbronchial lung biopsy which revealed infiltration of T cell-like
BACKGROUND
Reports on patients with European Lyme borreliosis in whom borreliae were isolated from the blood are rare and nearly exclusively limited to those with solitary or multiple erythema migrans. Here we report on patients with other manifestations of Lyme borreliosis in whom borreliae were
Since the first description by Saltzstein in 1959, the denomination of drug-induced pseudolymphoma was used to describe two cutaneous adverse drug reactions with a histological picture mimicking malignant lymphoma. On the basis of clinical presentation, this term includes two different patterns: (1)
