Provas de atividade inflamatória no pênfigo foliáceo endêmico

Abstract: Endemic pemphigus foliaceus (EPF) has its pathogenesis frequently associated to autoimmune phenomena. In this paper, a few routine laboratory tests, usually disturbed in some autoimmune diseases, were taken in 20 patients with EPF, which were screened for antinuclear antibodies (ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF), C-reactive protein (CRP) and changes of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serologic proteins electrophoresis and total leucocyte count. The CRP was found in 60% of cases, leukocytosis in 85%, high ESR … Show more

“…Serum levels of C3 and CRP (opsonins), Ba and C4d factors (indicative of activated alternative and classical/lectin pathways, respectively), are increased in PF patients with active disease ( 58 60 ). CD4 + T cells of PF patients present upregulated C1QA gene expression, compared to controls ( 20 ).…”

“…CD4 + T cells of PF patients present upregulated C1QA gene expression, compared to controls ( 20 ). Protein levels and C1QA expression fall with therapeutic intervention ( 20 , 59 , 60 ). By contrast, anti-DSG1 IgG levels remain high during disease remission ( 61 , 62 ).…”
