[Many-year course of systemic lupus erythematosus with cerebral symptoms].

During 20 years of disease duration in the reported woman aged 47 years at the time of death articular involvement was followed by cardiac involvement and after labour renal signs appeared. Cerebral signs developed about 11 years before her death and manifested themselves as several typical strokes. The observed systemic affections, including the neurological signs, responded favourably to immunosuppression. Postmortem examination of the brain demonstrated numerous ischaemic foci, including a large cerebellar infarction, due to proliferative changes in the walls of cerebral and meningeal vessels.

[High titre of antibodies to ds-DNA in a case of visceral lupus erythematosus with remission during many years].

In a 21-year-old female patient with lupus erythematosus exacerbation of the disease developed during pregnancy leading to eclampsia and birth of a stillborn fetus. After 10 years of immunosupressive treatment the patient continuing treatment with prednisone had another sucessful pregnancy with birth of a healthy child.
