[Primary biliary cirrhosis associated with acute disseminated lupus erythematosus (author's transl)]. 1980

M Krulik, and D Zylberait, and D Vittecoq, and A A Audebert, and J Debray

A 39 years old man experienced typical primary biliary (P.B.C.). Additional symptoms occured during the next four years including constitutional symptoms, polyarthralgias, nephrotic syndrom and chronic polyarthritis. Biologically, at the beginning of the disease, antimitochondrial antibodies were at the titer of 1/50,000, and the antinuclear antibodies at the titer of 1/10,000 (speckled pattern). During the course of the disease antimitochondrial antibodies decreased progressively and disappeared at the last control. The antinuclear antibodies progressed until 1/500,000 with anti Sm specificity. The association of P.B.C. and S.L.E., very seldom mentioned in the literature, is discussed among the auto-immune diseases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008105 Liver Cirrhosis, Biliary FIBROSIS of the hepatic parenchyma due to obstruction of BILE flow (CHOLESTASIS) in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts (BILE DUCTS, INTRAHEPATIC; BILE DUCTS, EXTRAHEPATIC). Primary biliary cholangitis involves the destruction of small intra-hepatic bile ducts and decreased bile secretion. Secondary biliary cholangitis is produced by prolonged obstruction of large intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts from a variety of causes.

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.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.
