Adult respiratory distress syndrome caused by acute systemic lupus erythematosus. 1985

P Domingo-Pedrol, and A Rodriguez de la Serna, and J Mancebo-Cortes, and J M Sanchez-Segura

A 34-year-old man, previously diagnosed as having an idiopathic diffuse glomerulonephritis, developed an acute, fulminating pulmonary disease which fulfilled clinical, radiological and physiological criteria for ARDS. He also fulfilled criteria for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus. High-dose corticosteroid therapy, artificial respiration and hemodialysis were instituted and were followed by marked clinical, radiological and physiological improvement, returning to normal 15 days after admission. We discuss here the role of immune complexes in the pathogenesis of acute pulmonary vasculitis of lupus erythematosus and suggest a role of corticosteroid pulse therapy in treating ARDS of this etiology.

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.

D008775 Methylprednisolone A PREDNISOLONE derivative with similar anti-inflammatory action. 6-Methylprednisolone,Medrol,Metipred,Urbason,6 Methylprednisolone
D011239 Prednisolone A glucocorticoid with the general properties of the corticosteroids. It is the drug of choice for all conditions in which routine systemic corticosteroid therapy is indicated, except adrenal deficiency states. Di-Adreson-F,Predate,Predonine,Di Adreson F,DiAdresonF
D012128 Respiratory Distress Syndrome A syndrome characterized by progressive life-threatening RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY in the absence of known LUNG DISEASES, usually following a systemic insult such as surgery or major TRAUMA.

D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis. These structural and functional abnormalities usually lead to HEMATURIA; PROTEINURIA; HYPERTENSION; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Bright Disease,Kidney Scarring,Glomerulonephritides,Scarring, Kidney
