  • Multiple neutrophilic dermatoses occurring in a pediatric Patient with Glomerulonephritis.
    Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Hsien-ching Chiu, Cheng-hsiang Hsiao
    Abstract:

    N eutrophilic dermatoses (ND) are characterized histologically by an epidermal and/ or dermal infiltrate of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, absence of microorganisms on special stains and cultures, and clinical improvement after treatment with systemic steroids. ND includes subcorneal pustular dermatosis, Sweet’s syndrome, erythema elevatum diutinum (EED), pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis, and granuloma faciale. We describe a pediatric Patient with Glomerulonephritis who successively developed 3 types of ND: EED-like dermatosis; subcorneal vesicular neutrophilic eruption; and acute form of PG.

  • fdg pet ct in Patients with anca associated vasculitis case series and literature review
    Autoimmunity Reviews, 2014
    Co-Authors: M Soussan, N Abisror, S Abad, Hilario Nunes, B Terrier, Veronique Eder, Dominique Valeyre, Rebecca Sberrosoussan, Loic Guillevin, R Dhote
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objectives We aimed to assess the clinical value of FDG-PET/CT in Patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis. Materials and methods We retrospectively included 16 Patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis who underwent 21 FDG-PET/CT between 2009 and 2013, in 2 university hospitals from the Paris suburb area. All FDG-PET/CTs were retrospectively analyzed and compared to clinical, biological and conventional imaging data at baseline and during the follow-up. Results ANCA-associated vasculitis was granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, n = 10), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA, n = 4), and eosinophilic GPA (EGPA, n = 2). PET was performed at initial presentation in 14 cases and during the follow-up in 7 cases. At baseline, PET was positive in 100% of GPA Patients (8/8) and in 50% (3/6) of Patients with other ANCA-vasculitis (p = 0.05). FDG uptake tended to be higher in Patients with GPA in comparison to Patients with MPA/EGPA (median SUVmax: 5 versus 2.5; p = 0.08). Sinonasal, lung, cardio-vascular and kidney involvements were all accurately identified by PET, except in one MPA Patient with Glomerulonephritis. As expected, skin, joint, eye and peripheral nervous system impairments were not detected by PET. No occult site was detected by PET, except in 2 salivary gland FDG uptake without clinical abnormalities. Patients with GPA exhibited a higher number of positive sites on PET (2 [1.75–2.25] versus 0.5 [0–1], p = 0.006) than Patients with MPA/EGPA. In pooled data including our study and the literature data of GPA Patients (n=31), SUVmax was associated with Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) (r=0.49; p=0.03). Conclusion FDG-PET/CT accurately identifies organ localizations in GPA, other than in nervous system, eye and skin, but do not bring additional benefit to the usual organ screening. The value of FDG-PET/CT in other ANCA-associated vasculitis need to be further addressed.
