Classically presenting with multiple or single peripheral cytopenias of variable severity, the myelodysplastic syndromes may occasionally present with bizarre manifestations that confuse the clinical picture and result in significant delays in making the correct diagnosis. We describe the case of an
American bison (Bison bison) are particularly susceptible to developing fatal sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever (SA-MCF) caused by ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2), a γ-herpesvirus in the Macavirus genus. This generally fatal disease is characterized by lymphoproliferation, vasculitis, and
Sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever (SA-MCF) caused by ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2), a gamma-herpesvirus in the Macavirus genus, is a fatal disease associated with lymphoproliferation, lymphocytic vasculitis, and mucosal ulceration in clinically susceptible species. SA-MCF is an important
Studies on the long-term outcome of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus not only give us survival figures but also uncover flaws in our treatment strategies and reveal both disease-associated and other factors that affect prognosis. Among the latter, compliance with treatment and
BACKGROUND
Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a diagnostic challenge. Rheumatologists are often in charge of patients with FUO because the vasculitides, especially, are potential and common causes of FUO.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the value of a standardised investigation to identify the cause of
We report a case of mediterranean spotted fever complicated by leucocytoclastic vasculitis. Rickettsia conorii, IgA, complement and fibrin deposits were found in a skin biopsy. Treatment with tetracycline was successful.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a tick-borne illness that is prevalent in the south and the central United States, primarily during the summer months. Patients with delayed diagnosis can experience increased mortality and morbidity, particularly poor neurological outcome. We present a case of a
We report a case of typhoid fever with an unusual presentation: prolonged fever with cutaneous vasculitis, pancreatitis, and splenic abscess. This is the first case of cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with Salmonella typhi. The diagnosis was made upon isolation of S. typhi in blood
BACKGROUND
Behçet's disease commonly presents with recurrent oral and genital mucocutaneous ulcerations, uveitis and various skin manifestations. Other clinical symptoms include gastrointestinal ulcerations, arthritis, venous thrombosis, arterial aneurysms and central nervous system affection.
BACKGROUND
Ocular and extraocular immune-mediated phenomena are known to occur following febrile illness. Vasculitis, retinitis and neurosensory detachment are not well-recognized sequelae of typhoid fever.
RESULTS
We report a case of vasculitis, retinitis and macular neurosensory detachment
Frosted branch angiitis (FBA), a rare form of retinal vasculitis presenting as bilateral perivascular sheathing, resembling the appearance of frosted tree branches in winter, was first reported by Ito et al.1 in 1976, in a young immunocompetent boy. FBA predominantly affects healthy young patients,
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is characterized by recurrent attacks of self-limited polyserositis and fever. Several types of vasculitis are associated with FMF: polyarteritis nodosa, Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP), and protracted febrile myalgia (PFM). We describe three cases of vasculitis in
We report a rare case of a patient with long-standing familial Mediterranean fever who presented with sudden onset of dyspnea, abdominal pain, and cutaneous manifestations. Chest CT and histologic preparations disclosed pulmonary hemorrhage and signs of systemic vasculitis. Cyclophosphamide and
The authors report the case of a 72-year-old man presenting with chronic dyspnoea and pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO). After extensive investigation, he was found to have pulmonary fibrosis with usual interstitial pneumonia pattern on high-resolution CT imaging and positive myeloperoxidase
Coexistence of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and other inflammatory disorders has been frequently reported, but no specific underlying factor has been identified. We report a patient with FMF who is presented with long-standing ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and cutaneous leukocytoklastic
