1. Anca negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis and mixed connective tissue disease: a case study
Resumo Uma das causas mais comuns da glomerulonefrite rapidamente progressiva (GNRP) é a glomerulonefrite crescêntica (GNC) pauci-imune. Na maioria dos casos, a patologia apresenta um marcador sorológico positivo, o anticorpo anticitoplasma de neutrófilos (ANCA), mas em cerca de 10% dos pacientes não há ANCAs circulantes, perfazendo um subgrupo da pato

2. Mycobacterium chelonae cutaneous infection in a patient with mixed connective tissue disease
Around 50 mycobacteria species cause human disease. Immunosuppressive states predispose to non-tuberculous mycobaterium infection, such as Mycobacterium chelonae: AFB, non-tuberculous, fast growth of low virulence and uncommon as a human pathogen. It may compromise the skin and soft tissues, lungs, lymph nodes and

3. Sjögren's syndrome: An underdiagnosed condition in mixed connective tissue disease
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of sicca symptoms, dry eye, and secondary Sjögren's syndrome and to evaluate the severity of dry eye in patients with mixed connective tissue disease. METHODS: In total, 44 consecutive patients with mixed connective tissue disease (Kasukawa's criteria) and 41 healthy controls underwent Schirmer's test, a tear film br

4. Immunogenicity of influenza H1N1 vaccination in mixed connective tissue disease: effect of disease and therapy
OBJECTIVE: To assess the potential acute effects regarding the immunogenicity and safety of non-adjuvanted influenza A H1N1/2009 vaccine in patients with mixed connective tissue disease and healthy controls. METHODS: Sixty-nine mixed connective tissue disease patients that were confirmed by Kasukawa's classification criteria and 69 age- and gender-matched co

5. Capilaroscopia na DMTC: um processo dinâmico associado ao envolvimento intersticial pulmonar e à gravidade de doença / Capillaroscopy in MCTD: a dynamic process associated to lung interstitial involvement and disease severity
For determining the clinical relevance of SD-pattern in MCTD, sixty-three MCTD patients (Kasukawa´s criteria) were consecutively selected. The main inclusion criterion was availability of previous nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) 5 years before inclusion. At entry, organ involvement and autoantibody evaluation were performed. The mean age and disease duration w

6. Trigeminal sensory neuropathy and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome: the initial manifestation of mixed connective tissue disease.
A patient is described who devloped a bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and a trigeminal sensory neuropathy as the initial manifestations of mixed connective tissue disease. Either condition can occur in other connective tissue diseases, but this combination has not been reported previously in mixed connective tissue disease, in which, however, trigeminal sen

7. Nucleoporin p62 Antibodies in a Case of Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Mixed connective tissue disease is an overlap syndrome characterized by features of different systemic autoimmune diseases and a high titer of U1-snRNP antibodies. We examine here the autoantibodies to nucleoporin p62 in a severe case of mixed connective tissue disease in a young male patient. Thus far, p62 antibodies have mainly been described in cases of p

8. Mixed connective tissue disease presenting as a left sided pleural effusion.
Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) usually occurs in women aged 13-50 years. Pleural effusion is rarely the presenting feature of this disease. The case is reported here of a male patient with MCTD who presented at the age of 79 years with a left sided pleural effusion.

9. Recovery from pulmonary hypertension in an adolescent with mixed connective tissue disease.
This paper describes the case of an 11 year old girl who presented with mixed connective tissue disease which was complicated by the development of pulmonary hypertension. This case is unique with respect to the young age of onset, the serial non-invasive method used to follow the disease process, and the favourable response to treatment with vasodilator and

10. Use of recombinant RNP peptides 70K and A in an ELISA for measurement of antibodies in mixed connective tissue disease: a longitudinal follow up of 18 patients.
In a three year prospective study disease activity variables and levels of antibody against the RNP-peptides 70K and A were measured in 18 patients with mixed connective tissue disease. Antibody measurement entailed use of cloned autoantigens in an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Fluctuations in antibody levels against 70K and A were most commonly

11. Intra-articular apatite deposition in mixed connective tissue disease: crystallographic and technetium scanning characteristics.
An acute arthritis in a patient with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) was found to be associated with intra-articular deposition of carbonated hydroxyapatite crystals. A technetium hydroxymethylene diphosphonate bone scan showed intense uptake in the delayed phase scan of the affected joints. Synovial fluid analysis demonstrated uptake of the radiophar

12. Mixed connective tissue disease associated with autoimmune hepatitis and thyroiditis.
The case is reported of a 27 year old woman who had mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) associated with chronic active hepatitis and thyroiditis. Although hepatomegaly is sometimes observed in MCTD, only four cases of MCTD and chronic active hepatitis have been described. It is thought that this is the first report of an association between MCTD, chronic
