Implications of Antiphospholipid and Antineutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibodies in the Context of Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
While antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity has been documented in some patients with postinfectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) and is associated with more severe disease, antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) are not known to be a common ...

Pure Red Cell Aplasia Associated With Thymic Tumors, a Nationwide Retrospective Study

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is the most frequent autoimmune cytopenia associated with thymic tumors (TTs). In a nationwide retrospective study, we included 41 patients (22 women, median age 62 years). At PRCA diagnosis, the mean hemoglobin level was 6.6 ± 2.1 g/dL, and the reticulocyte count was 6 ± 5 × 109/L. PRCA was diagnosed before TT (8%,

Differences in Dynamics of Specific Antinuclear Antibodies and Their Susceptibility to B Cell–Targeting Treatment in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) is characteristic for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Antibody dynamics over time are thought to reflect the cellular source of ANAs and their therapeutic targetability. Anti–double‐stranded DNA (anti‐dsDNA) is the most prevalent and well‐studied of all ANAs, and fluctuations in anti‐dsDNA ...

Hand Swelling and Other Non–Raynaud Phenomenon Symptoms as the Initial Presentation of Systemic Sclerosis: Prevalence and Clinical Associations in Two US Cohorts

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Raynaud phenomenon (RP) is often the initial clinical manifestation of systemic sclerosis (SSc), but some patients develop other manifestations first. To help elucidate the diversity of SSc presentation in its early stages, we describe the initial clinical manifestations and antinuclear antibody (ANA) profiles of patients in two early SSc ...

Antiphospholipid Syndrome: An Antibody‐Mediated Disease With Emerging Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune thromboinflammatory disease characterized by vascular thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, and other manifestations driven by antiphospholipid autoantibodies. In this review, we present a clinical case that illustrates some diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in managing severe, relapsing APS ...

Recreational exposure during algal bloom in carrasco beach, uruguay: A liver failure case report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In January 2015, a 20-month-old child and her family took part in recreational activities at Carrasco and Malvín beaches (Montevideo, Uruguay). An intense harmful algae bloom (HAB) was developing along the coast at that time.

Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Castleman disease (CD) is a major diagnostic challenge for rheumatologists. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves one enlarged lymph node region, whereas multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple enlarged lymph node regions. Both UCD and MCD may exhibit a wide range of symptoms that overlap with other immune‐mediated conditions.

Antinuclear human autoantibodies as markers in Nicotiana tabacum pollen tubes

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
In the present paper we report on the use of antinuclear human autoantibodies as specific markers in Nicotiana tabacum pollen tubes. The antibodies have been tested by fluorescence techniques using a confocal laser scanning microscope. All the antibodies

Autoantibody Response Toward Chromatin in Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) frequently exhibit antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), but the specific antigen target recognized by them and the presence of additional autoantibody specificities in patients with JIA remains elusive.
