Chorea in systemic lupus erythematosus and "lupus-like" disease: association with antiphospholipid antibodies. 1987

R A Asherson, and R H Derksen, and E N Harris, and B N Bouma, and A E Gharavi, and L Kater, and G R Hughes

Twelve patients with chorea from a population of 500 patients with SLE and "lupus-like" disease were reviewed. Clinical histories, including time relationships of chorea to the systemic illness and other neurologic manifestations, are reported. Chorea appeared early in the course of disease in most patients, but the development of cerebral infarctions or TIAs occurred subsequently in seven of nine patients demonstrating antiphospholipid antibodies. The relationship of chorea to the presence of these antibodies in nine of 12 patients and the therapeutic outcome are briefly discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid

D002308 Cardiolipins Acidic phospholipids composed of two molecules of phosphatidic acid covalently linked to a molecule of glycerol. They occur primarily in mitochondrial inner membranes and in bacterial plasma membranes. They are the main antigenic components of the Wassermann-type antigen that is used in nontreponemal SYPHILIS SERODIAGNOSIS. Cardiolipin,Diphosphatidylglycerol,Diphosphatidylglycerols
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D002819 Chorea Involuntary, forcible, rapid, jerky movements that may be subtle or become confluent, markedly altering normal patterns of movement. Hypotonia and pendular reflexes are often associated. Conditions which feature recurrent or persistent episodes of chorea as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as CHOREATIC DISORDERS. Chorea is also a frequent manifestation of BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES.
