Uveitis, a presenting symptom of malignant histiocytosis.
A patient presenting initially with bilateral uveitis was admitted 6 weeks later to the Department of Internal Medicine "A" because of fever, chills, and pancytopenia. Physical examination, ultrasonography and CT scan revealed hepatosplenomegaly only, without lymphadenopathy. A bone marrow trephine biopsy showed areas with a dense infiltrate of abnormal cells, displaying many mitotic figures. Some of the cells resembled better differentiated histiocytes and contained hemosiderin pigment or phagocytosed erythrocytes. Immunohistological tests confirmed the diagnosis of malignant histiocytosis (MH). A survey of the literature revealed two other cases with uveitis and MH.

Primary biliary cirrhosis and systemic lupus erythematosus. A rare association.
Although the co-existence between primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and one or more autoimmune diseases is very common, the association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is believed to be rare. We describe a 37-year-old woman with PBC who developed clinical and serological features of SLE 4 years later. The anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA) titers fell to undetectable levels during the acute phase of the SLE. At the same time, high titers of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) were detected. Changes in opposite directions in the AMA and ANA titers were also seen during remission of the SLE.
