Anti-SL-Ki antibody in a patient with fatal connective tissue overlap disease.

A patient with photosensitivity is described who presented with an overlap syndrome combining features of systemic lupus erythematosus with a mild polymyositis and scleroderma and with symptoms of the sicca syndrome. In addition, he was anti-SSA/Ro positive and had a constellation of antibodies directed to ENA including the anti-SL-Ki antibody. The condition was fatal and he died from heart failure and respiratory insufficiency.

Generalized eruptive histiocytoma in children.

Generalized eruptive histiocytoma is a papular, non-X, nonlipidic, self-healing histiocytosis affecting mainly adults. This article describes the clinical, histologic, ultrastructural, and immunologic findings in four children, aged 10 months to 4 years, who were suffering from this disease. Generalized eruptive histiocytoma of children differs from generalized eruptive histiocytoma of adults only in that the lesions are not symmetrically distributed, they do not affect the mucous membranes, and they may become xanthomatous.

Persistent solar urticaria. A case report.

Solar urticaria is an uncommon dermatological disease characterized by wheals developing within a few minutes after sun exposure and lasting a few hours. We describe a man in whom wheals developed on his trunk and arms more than 30 min after sun exposure and lasted more than 24 h. High doses of UVA reproduced lesions with histological features typical of urticaria. After 7 years, urticaria began to develop even in winter and without sun exposure. Our patient is unusual in that his wheals were delayed in onset and longlasting. The later association of idiopathic urticaria is an additional unusual feature.

[Sarcoidosis presenting with Raynaud's syndrome: a case report].

We report a case of association between sarcoidosis and Raynaud's syndrome. A 39 year old female presented fatigue, Raynaud's syndrome, IgG and erithrosedimentation rate (ESR) increase, polyarthralgy in which disseminated micronodular infiltration in the chest X-ray and histological demonstration of non-caseating epitheloid microgranulomas led to a diagnosis of concomitant sarcoidosis. Clues to the diagnosis of sarcoidosis coexisting with autoimmune disease are discussed.
