Background: Platelet rich plasma procedure (PRP) is considered to be one of the safest aesthetic procedures. Adverse reactions after PRP administration are extreme rare. Purpose: We present the patient with serum sickness disease (SSD) after PRP procedure. Objective and methods: 41 years old female suffers from alopecia areata for 5 years with frequent relapses and she has been suffering from Menier's disease recurrent symptoms for 6 years. The patient developed SSD after third PRP rejuvenating procedure and she has also noticed new alopecia areata lesions, but without Menier's disease symptoms. After SSD, 4 months later, she developed severe symptoms of Menier's disease with an episode of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. It alleviated only after intravenous administration of methylprednisolone. In our opinion, significant contraindication of PRP procedure is an autoimmune disease in the active phase.
Introduction: Behçet disease (BD) is a rare systemic vasculitis of unknown aetiology, which can involve different size arteries and veins. The syndrome is characterized by oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, skin and ocular lesions, arthritis, gastrointestinal ulcers, and neurological signs. Aim: The aim of this paper is to discuss comorbidity of BD with other autoimmune diseases referring to a clinical case report. Case study: The study presents a case of BD concurrent with vitiligo, psoriasis and scleritis in a 22-year-old patient. Results and discussion: The aetiology and pathogenesis of BDare unknown. The presented case of BD was accompanied by psoriasis, nodular scleritis, and vitiligo, which is uncommon. In Poland, since the disease is rare and only single cases have been identified, the precise epidemiology is unknown. Currently, more cases are being diagnosed. Conclusions: Due to nonspecific symptoms and rarity in some countries, BD diagnosis can be delayed, which may have a negative effect on a patient’s life quality. Further studies exploring the correlation between BD, psoriasis, vitiligo, and nodular scleritis are needed to better understand the pathogenesis and relationship between the diseases.
