“…To suppress the cytokine cascade and for immunomodulatory effects, the use of high-dose systemic glucocorticoids such as methylprednisolone (0.5-1 g intravenously for 3 days) followed by oral glucocorticoid equivalent to prednisolone 1 mg/kg have been reported. [13][14][15][16] The other modalities to control inflammation and mitigate the effect of antiphospholipid antibodies include intravenous immunoglobulin (400 mg/kg/day for 5 days) and plasma exchange. In our series, all three cases were managed with high-dose steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, and Case 3 was managed with plasmapheresis.…”

“…As alterações cutâneas correspondem a rash malar, fotossensibilidade, lúpus discoide e púrpura, entre outros (ALALAWI et al, 2020). Doença vascular periférica levando à gangrena digital é uma complicação bem descrita na SAF, principalmente se associada ao LES (KULKARNI et al, 2019). A gangrena digital isolada no LES, porém, é uma lesão vascular rara, que pode estar associada a vasculite, mas também a aterosclerose, vasoespasmo e hipercoagulabidade (NAGAI et al, 2009).…”

“…RELATO DE UM CASO ____________________________________________________________________________ rara em pacientes pediátricos, porém com eleveda mortalidade (GO; O'NEIL, 2017).SAFC pode ser a primeira manifestação da SAF e suas manifestações clínicas dependem da extensão dos eventos trombóticos e dos órgãos acometidos, podendo haver acometimento renal, pulmonar, de sistema nervoso central, cardíaco e cutâneo. Além de gangrena e isquemia digital, o acometimento cutâneo também pode manifestar como púrpura, úlceras cutâneas e livedo reticular(KULKARNI et al, 2019). A avaliação histopatológica na SAF descreve trombose sem vasculite significativa, com acometimento de pequenos vasos na SAFC (LALLY;SAMMARITANO, 2015).…”
