“…In our case, T lymphocytes were identified in the inflammatory infiltrate, especially CD4+ cells, which may support this hypothesis ( Figure 5 A). Some authors suggest that factors such insect bites, ultraviolet radiation, minor trauma, viral infection, thyroiditis and diabetes mellitus are implicated in its pathogenesis [ 2 , 3 ]. Extracellular matrix remodeling is also a key feature in the pathogenesis of GA with large accumulation of macrophages [ 4 ].…”

Perforating Granuloma Annulare — An Unusual Subtype of a Common Disease

Perforating granuloma annulare (GA) is a rare subset of GA with an unknown etiology and chronic course. Herein, we report the case of 72 year-old women with a 3-month history of a post-traumatic, persistent, erythematous and exudative plaque located on her left leg. Differential diagnosis included mycobacterial infection, subcutaneous mycosis, perforating dermatoses, pyoderma and squamous cell carcinoma. The histopathology was highly suggestive of a perforating GA. The patient was treated with betamethasone dipropionate cream applied once daily and a complete resolution of the lesion was observed in three weeks. Despite being a very rare subtype of a common disease, perforating granuloma annulare has clinical and histopathological characteristic features that facilitate the differential diagnosis, avoiding unnecessary procedures and inadequate and potentially more invasive treatments.

A case is reported of a patient presenting lymph node tuberculosis and cutaneous lesions resembling papulonecrotic tuberculid, but histologically compatible with perforating granuloma annulare and which responded satisfactorily to antituberculous therapy. This is probably one of the first reports of the association of perforating granuloma annulare and tuberculosis, and it is important therefore to highlight the relevance of this disorder in the differential diagnosis of papulonecrotic tuberculid and to raise the hypothesis that this entity should also be considered to be a variant of tuberculid.

“…Entretanto, embora os avanços na triagem sorológica seja uma realidade vivenciada ainda no século XX, os riscos relacionados às transfusões ainda existem. Entre esses riscos infecciosos e não infecciosos, pode-se mencionar: Hemólise sintomática, Reação febril não hemolítica, Anafilaxia, Urticária, Edema pulmonar não cardíaco, contaminação bacteriana, AIDS -e outras infecções virais, e fúngicas -, Insuficiência cardíaca congestiva, Hemólise sintomática (destruição física do sangue), Púrpura pós-transfusional e Imunossupressão (DORNELLES et al, 2011;SOUSA NETO;BARBOSA, 2012).…”

Acerca da utilização do sangue em diversas culturas e etnias desde tempos remotos é notório que este fluido não tem sua importância somente em práticas medicinais, mas também em rituais religiosos. O objetivo do presente estudo é realizar levantamento bibliográfico acerca do uso do sangue em diferentes culturas da antiguidade e descrever o atual uso do sangue como agente terapêutico. O estudo é uma revisão narrativa/ clássica de literatura, em que foi consultada a Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde - BVS, utilizando as bases de dados Medline; Lilacs, Wholis e PAHO. Usando os descritores em Ciências da Saúde - DeCS: História da Medicina; Civilização; Religião e Ciência; Egito; Mundo Grego; Mundo Romano; Mundo Árabe; Medicina Tradicional Chinesa e Sangue. Deste modo, fica claro que o uso do sangue por civilizações antigas esteve relacionado às tradições religiosas, sendo compreendida sua relação direta com a vida humana, embora desconhecidas suas propriedades e composição. Ainda hoje alguns povos guardam esses traços históricos na incorporação de práticas cotidianas relacionadas ao uso do sangue. Conclui-se que esse fluido já foi e continua sendo empregado, em diversas práticas culturais, sendo o objeto de estudo de suma importância para a medicina contemporânea, como evidenciado pelo procedimento de hemotransfusão e de análises laboratoriais.Palavras-chave: Sangue. Religião e Ciência. Conhecimentos. Atitudes. Prática em Saúde.AbstractRegarding the use of blood in various cultures and ethnic groups since ancient times is well known that this fluid is important not only in medical practices, but also in religious rituals. The aim of this study is to accomplish a literature review about the use of blood in different antiquity cultures and describe the current use of blood as a therapeutic agent. The study is a narrative/classical literature review, which Virtual Health Library (VHL) was consulted, using the “databases” Medline; Lilacs Wholis and PAHO and the descriptors in Health Sciences (Decs): Historyof Medicine; Civilization; Religion and Science; Egypt; Greek world; Roman world; Arab world; Traditional Chinese Medicine and Blood. Thus, it becomes clear that the use of blood by ancient civilizations was related to religious traditions, being understood its direct relationship to human life, yet unknown its properties and composition. Even today some people keep these historical traces when incorporation their everyday practices related to the use of blood. It is concluded that this fluid has been and continues to be used in diverse cultural practices, being an important object of study for contemporary medicine, as evidenced by blood transfusion procedure and laboratory analysis.Keywords: Blood.
