Presentation

We review the clinical and pathological findings of ALCL and present this case to highlight a subtle diagnostic clue in assessing recurrence of cutaneous lymphoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Entire Body System

  • Fever

    Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary autoinflammatory disease, which is characterized by recurrent and paroxysmal fever, peritonitis, arthritis, myalgia, and skin rashes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastrointestinal

  • Abdominal Pain

    One month later, she began experiencing high fevers, headache, myalgia, neck stiffness, and abdominal pain as well as bilateral blurred vision from APMPPE. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Lungs and respiratory tract: Cough Shortness of breath Sinus congestion and pain Coughing up blood or bleeding from the nose Other symptoms include: Abdominal pain Blood in the urine or stools Hoarseness or changing voice Chest pain from damage of the [medlineplus.gov]

    She visited our hospital with the chief complaint of lower abdominal pain. Since free air in the abdomen was detected by abdominal X-ray and CT scanning, perforation in the lower digestive tract was diagnosed, and laparotomy was performed. [ci.nii.ac.jp]

    Family history was remarkable for his late father who had had abdominal pain and arthralgia. Two of his children had recurrent febrile episodes. [ard.bmj.com]

Musculoskeletal

  • Arthralgia

    Within 14 days of interferon-alpha therapy (3 x 3 million IU/ml/week), purpuric skin lesions disappeared as well as fatigue and arthralgia; 9 months after initiation of therapy, liver enzyme values were nearly normal despite persistence of HCV RNA tested [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    myalgia Diagnosis,* disease monitoring Complement (C3 and C4) Arthralgia, myalgia Disease monitoring Cryoglobulins Purpura, arthritis, hepatitis C Diagnosis of cryoglobulinemic vasculitis Immunoglobulins and protein electrophoresis Arthralgia, bone [aafp.org]

    Myalgias with areas of focal ischemic myositis and arthralgias are common. Affected muscles are tender and may be weak. Arthritis may occur. [msdmanuals.com]

    Leukocytoclastic vasculitis: neutrophilic inflammation with fibrinoid necrosis and fragmented neutrophilic nuclei (leukocytoclasis); it presents as purpuric palpable lesions of lower legs; systemic cases are associated with Henoch-Schonlein pupura (fever, arthralgias [pathologyoutlines.com]

    Family history was remarkable for his late father who had had abdominal pain and arthralgia. Two of his children had recurrent febrile episodes. [ard.bmj.com]

Skin

  • Skin Ulcer

    Cutaneous: Livedo reticularis, skin ulcers, tender erythematous nodules, bullous or vesicular eruptions, infarction and gangrene of fingers or toes, or a combination may occur. [msdmanuals.com]

    It can produce deep dermal ulcers, localized skin infarction, ischemia or necrosis of the fingertips, scleritis, and inflammation of multiple nerves (mononeuritis multiplex). vasculitis Widespread inflammation of blood vessels occurring as the principal [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

    Infections of chronic, deep skin ulcers have led to death from sepsis. Some investigators have postulated that HCV-related type II MC is a benign of low-grade B-cell lymphoproliferative disease. [lupusinternational.com]

Workup

Provides all the necessary tools to make a comprehensive diagnostic workup including data from ancillary techniques and molecular findings whenever appropriate. [books.google.es]

A skin biopsy is often part of the first-line investigations done in the workup of such patients. [ijdpdd.com]

The decision to continue her PTU while awaiting the diagnostic workup, rather than immediately discontinue the medication, was made due to her lack of other end-organ failure often associated with vasculitis. [westjem.com]

DAH in conjunction with other manifestations of systemic vasculitis (see section below on common findings) should trigger a workup to establish a diagnosis. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Treatment

Treatment with ganciclovir and anti-CMV immunoglobulin in addition to prednisolone medication for 6 months resulted in rapid improvement of the clinical symptoms without relapse. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Today, however, normal life spans are possible with proper treatment. The success of treatment is related to prompt diagnosis, aggressive treatment and careful follow-up to be sure that side effects from medications do not develop. [webmd.com]

Sorafenib is approved for advanced renal carcinoma treatment ( 8 ) and for advanced HCC ( 9 ). [jgo.amegroups.com]

Prognosis

ICU disease severity scores at admission were associated with mortality in the ICU but did not predict long-term outcome, unlike BVAS, which accurately predicted long-term outcome but not ICU prognosis for patients admitted to the ICU with active SNV. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

What is the Prognosis of Necrotizing Vasculitis? (Outcomes/Resolutions) Outcomes for individuals with necrotizing vasculitis greatly vary depending on the location of inflammation and the severity of tissue damage. [dovemed.com]

Prognosis is better if disease remission is achieved within 18 months after diagnosis. Relapses are less common than in other vasculitic disorders. [msdmanuals.com]

Outlook (Prognosis) The outcome depends on the location of the vasculitis and the severity of tissue damage. [mountsinai.org]

Etiology

Abstract Hepatitis A virus has been recognized as an etiologic factor of cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis in only 2 adult cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Due to the multiple etiologies associated with dermatologic emergencies, diagnosis may often be difficult. [westjem.com]

[…] vasculitides thought to represent hypersensitivity to an antigenic stimulus, such as a drug, infectious agent, or exogenous or endogenous protein; all disorders in this group involve the small vessels. nodular vasculitis a chronic vasculitis of unknown etiology [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Epidemiology

CONCLUSION: The new classification algorithm is a reliable method for classification of SNV for epidemiological purposes in our population. © 2013 Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology and Wiley Publishing Asia Pty Ltd. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Textbook of Systemic Vasculitis is an in-depth guide to the epidemiology, classification and genetics of systemic vasculitis as well as imaging, symptoms and management of the disease. [books.google.de]

These findings support a pro-aggregatory state that, in part, explains the thrombotic events shown by epidemiological studies. [journals.lww.com]

Pathophysiology

We also discuss the pathophysiology of nervous system involvement in patients with SNV. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The purpose of this case series is to describe the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of LINES. The authors’ institutional database was reviewed from 2008 to 2015, and they found 3 patients with LINES. [woundsresearch.com]

Prevention

In cases of tissue infection, antibiotics are used How can Necrotizing Vasculitis be Prevented? Since little is known about the cause of necrotizing vasculitis, there are no known methods of preventing the condition. [dovemed.com]

Emergency symptoms include: Changes in pupil size Loss of function of an arm, leg, or other body part Speech problems Swallowing difficulty Weakness Severe abdominal pain Prevention There is no known way to prevent this disorder. [mountsinai.org]

Prevention Because so little is known about what causes a particular individual to develop vasculitis, there are no known ways to prevent it. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Emergency symptoms include: Changes in pupil size Loss of function of an arm, leg, or other body part Speech problems Swallowing difficulty Weakness Severe abdominal pain There is no known way to prevent this disorder. Habif TP. [medlineplus.gov]

Since it’s an autoimmune disorder with an unknown cause, there’s no known way to prevent the onset of SNV. This rare condition is treatable. However, damage to any area affected by SNV can’t be reversed. [healthline.com]
