Giant Cell Arteritis
Klin Monbl Augenheilkd. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.1055/a-2252-3371. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGiant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common primary vasculitis and is associated with potential bilateral blindness. Neither clinical nor laboratory evidence is simple and unequivocal for this disease, which usually requires rapid and reliable diagnosis and therapy. The ophthalmologist should consider GCA with the following ocular symptoms: visual loss or visual field defects, transient visual disturbances (amaurosis fugax), diplopia, eye pain, or new onset head or jaw claudication. An immediate ophthalmological examination with s...

Blood Whispers: Exploring Hematologic Indicators for Diagnosing and Predicting Severity of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome
CONCLUSION: CBC-derived inflammatory parameters indicate that VKH is a systemic inflammation. These parameters can be used in the diagnosis and determination of disease severity of VKH.PMID:38592364 | DOI:10.1080/09273948.2024.2334793 (Source: Ocular Immunology and Inflammation)

Risk of Relapse of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody –Associated Vasculitis in a Randomized Controlled Trial of Plasma Exchange and Glucocorticoids
ConclusionIn patients with severe ANCA-associated vasculitis, relapses remain common; neither the use of PLEX nor an initial glucocorticoid tapering regimen impacted relapse risk. (Source: Arthritis and Rheumatology)

Misdiagnosis of lymphoma as vasculitis: A case report
This article describes a patient with NKTCL misdiagnosed as vasculitis who presented with sinusitis, abdominal pain, anorexia, and lung shadows, and also presented with eosinophilia, which was misdiagnosed as eosinophilic granuloma. The article describes the clinical features, diagnostic methods and differential diagnosis of lymphoma and highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in accurate diagnosis and treatment. AbstractNK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a highly aggressive malignant tumour with a very poor prognosis, which often poses diagnostic difficulties due to the non-specificity of its clinical present...

Diagnosis of Behcet's disease in a young male patient with acute bilateral pulmonary embolism; A case report and literature review
We present a 30-year-old patient who was admitted with pleuritic chest pain, non-massive hemoptysis since 4 days ago and medical history of intermittent genial aphthous lesions, and skin lesions. During our evaluation, he had an S1Q3T3 pattern in the electrocardiogram, a high level of D-dimer, a low level of FDP and fibrinogen along with pulmonary emboli in lobar and segmental branches of the right pulmonary artery and segmental branches of left lower lobe pulmonary artery were detected in his pulmonary CT Angiography. Then, he was positive for HLA-B51. Based on his clinical condition and history of recurrent genital and s...

Laboratory diagnostics for vasculitis beyond antineutrophil cytoplasmatic autoantibodies
Z Rheumatol. 2024 Apr 8. doi: 10.1007/s00393-024-01494-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe diagnosis of systemic vasculitis (SV) is a major clinical challenge due to the very different forms of presentation and requires an interdisciplinary approach. Targeted laboratory diagnostics support making the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and classification and are also a key component in the detection of active organ manifestations and treatment complications. The basic laboratory tests include the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C‑reactive protein (CRP), blood count, serum creatinine, urinalysis, specific autoantibod...
