Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Amyloidosis

Abstract: Amyloidosis can occur in association with a series of other processes, including connective tissue disease; amyloid deposition has been found in rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, and periarteritis nodosum. But among the many cases published only four authors describe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and amyloidosis (1-4). We report a case of association of SLE and amyloidosis in a patient in whom radiologic and serologic findings compatible with ankylosing spondylitis were discovered.Case r… Show more

“…The concomitant presence of ankylosing spondylitis and connective tissue disease is very rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature [1][2][3][4][5]. Nashel et al in 1982 [3] and Olivieri et al in 1989 [5] each described the coexistence in a single patient of ankylosing spondylitis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and hypothesised that SLE and spondyloarthropathy may appear together only when a specific association of genetically determined markers occurs.…”

“…In this patient there was no chronic infectious or inflammatory disease other than SLE. In the literature only a few cases on the development of AA type amyloidosis in SLE have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In most of the reported cases, the patient had suffered from long-standing SLE [1][2][3]9].…”

“…The association of renal amyloidosis with other glom erulopathies is not frequent; one case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and 4 of Lupus nephritis associated with amyloid deposition were reported [8][9][10]. The occurrence of crescents in renal amyloidosis has rarely been mentioned.…”
