120-kDa protein corresponds to the
linear immunoglobulin A dermatosis autoantigen.1
autoantibodies to 290- and 145-kDa proteins of type VII collagen, a major component of anchoring fibrils
Bullous SLE
Autoantibodies against either the 180- or 230-kDa located in the hemidesmosomal complex of the BMZ.1
are known as human bullous pemphigoid antigens (BP180 and BP230),
major autoantigen in cicatricial pemphigoid.
E. Laminin 5
What is the most appropriate medication to control Bullous SLE
lesions respond to treatment with dapsone in the first 48 hours.
prognosis of this condition sarcoid?
Good response after treatment; vigilance is recommended for local and systemic relapses
In >90% of cases, scleromyxedema is associated with
an underlying paraproteinemia.2 This is usually a monoclonal gammopathy of immunoglobulin G lambda light chains.
Severe systemic involvement may be seen with long-standing scleromyxedema, including
progressive pulmonary and renal disease, as well as a life-threatening dermatoneurologic syndrome marked by encephalopathy.
This form of sarcoidosis typically presents with fever, polyarthralgias, uveitis, bilateral hilar adenopathy, fatigue, and erythema nodosum.
Löfgren syndrome—
familial juvenile systemic granulomatosis,
Blau syndrome—
strong association with sarcoidosis of the respiratory system 75%and 50% will have sarcoidosis of the upper respiratory tract.
Lupus pernio
uveoparotid fever, this form of sarcoidosis typically presents with parotid gland swelling, lacrimal gland enlargement, uveitis, fever, and facial nerve palsy.
Heerfordt syndrome—
autosomal dominant syndrome caused by mutations in CARD15/NOD2
Blau syndrome
presents early in life with granulomatous dermatitis, recurrent uveitis, symmetric arthritis, and rarely systemic involvement.
Blau syndrome
form of sarcoidosis typically presents with bilateral involvement of the parotid, submandibular, sublingual, and lacrimal glands.
Mikulicz syndrome—
monoclonal gammopathy of immunoglobulin G lambda light chains. Diagnosis is best made by
performing serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation for screening. A urine protein electrophoresis is also useful to rule out the presence of Bence–Jones proteins
Hypocalcemia— can occur in sarcoidosis.
F . Hypercalcemia, not hypocalcemia,
increased angiotensin-converting enzyme level that may be used to follow the clinical course.
Sarcoidal granulomas produce angiotensin-converting enzymes, and 60% of patients
Hypercalcemia occurs in ?% of patients with sarcoidosis.
11%
Sarcoidal granulomas up-regulating calcium absorption from the bowel via?
contain the enzyme 1-alpha hydroxylase, converts vitamin D to its active form
Necrotizing sialometaplasia NSM pathogenesis is considered to result from
ischemia.
local trauma predisposing factors described are dental injection, denture, and anesthesia injection.1 Upper respiratory infection, cocaine use, smoking, allergy, and general factors related to autonomic neuropathy, such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and malnutrition
Necrotizing sialometaplasia NSM
Five histologic stages are described: infarction, sequestration, ulceration, reparative stage, and healed stage.
NSM
prognosis of NSM
excellent, and spontaneous resolution usually occurs within weeks.
