Seborrheic dermatitis in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Cutaneous eruptions are commonly seen in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Seborrheic dermatitis in this patient population is usually more severe and difficult to diagnose and treat. The butterfly distribution of the rash and the interpretation of the biopsy may suggest a diagnosis of discoid lupus erythematosus, unless the pathologist is aware of the underlying immunodeficiency. We present two cases of patients with documented acquired immunodeficiency syndrome whose initial biopsies were interpreted as discoid lupus but whose cutaneous seborrheic dermatitis actually paralleled human immunodeficiency virus disease activity.

Pulmonary hemorrhage in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Massive pulmonary hemorrhage confirmed by pathologic examination occurred in three of 12 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated by lung disease. Two patients died. Hemorrhage was clinically unrecognized in two cases. The third patient survived after an open lung biopsy and an increase in prednisone therapy. In the absence of hemoptysis, awareness of the possibility of pulmonary hemorrhage in patients with SLE and a high index of suspicion are necessary for early recognition of this uncommon but potentially fatal complication.

Computer analysis of factors influencing the appearance of aseptic necrosis in patients with SLE.

A computer analysis of 234 patients with SLE followed for an average of 31 months revealed 22 patients with aseptic necrosis of bone (AN) (9%), with projected frequency approaching 30% at 10-15 years of follow-up. Most patients developed between four and seven years after diagnosis of SLE. When compared to all other patients with SLE and no AN or to three computer-selected groups matched by age of SLE diagnosis, duration of disease, or cumulative corticosteroid dose, AN did not correlate with any of the preliminary ARA criteria, total number of criteria fulfilled, renal disease, skin vasculitis, or disease activity. Although all patients received corticosteroid therapy prior to development of AN, no correlation was found with duration, peak dose, or cumulative dose of corticosteroid therapy.
