Case study :
Ms. X, a 32-year-old Hispanic woman, has had a history of intermittent pleuritic chest pain and joint pain for the past several years. Recently, she went to her physician because she noticed that an erythematous, butterfly-shaped rash had appeared on her face. Further lab tests indicated protein in her urine. Her blood test indicated the presence of numerous antinuclear antibodies, especially anti-DNA, and mature neutrophils containing nuclear material. A diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was made.
Discussion Questions
1. Discuss possible reasons why SLE was not diagnosed earlier
2.Discuss how the presence of antibodies can cause such widespread damage in organ systems.
3. Discuss possible manifestations of SLE
4. Discuss treatments for SLE and a prognosis for the patient in this case.
*Case Study*
A 2-year-old boy fell from a backyard gym set. His shoulder and upper arm became very swollen shortly after the fall. The boy’s mother took him to the emergency department a few hours after th incident because he was complaining of pain. On physical examination, the physician noted that large hematoma had formed in the upper part of the boy’s right arm. There was no history of surgery (he had not been circumcised), injury, or illness.
The boy was receiving no medication. Emergency department treatment consisted of aspirating the hematoma Subsequent to this treatment, the boy began to bleed extensively. He was admitted to the hospital. The following laboratory tests were ordered: a hemoglobin and hematocrit, platelet count, and bleeding time. Because the bleeding continued, a type and crossmatch for two units of fresh blood were ordered on a standby basis. Additional information from the mother revealed that the boy’s cousin had “bleeding problem.”

For the last three months he has been feeling weaker and more fatigued than usual; his weight dropped from 170 to 155 pounds. Xin’s blood was drawn and testing was conducted. His hematocrit was 45% and white-blood cell count was 2,500 white-blood cells/mm3, with the differential showing neutrophils 65%, lymphocytes 25%, monocytes 10%. A biopsy was taken of one of the discolored lesions and grown in cell culture. After three days of growth the cells were confirmed as coming from malignant cancerous tissue. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the area around the skin lesions on Xin’s inner thigh revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a sign of potential metastasis.

He visited a local hospital and-underwent a blood routine test: WBC=8.7X10°L, N=21%, RBC= 3.36X10%/L, BPC=75X 10°/L, Hb=109g/L; peripheral -blood smear shows: atypical cells 29%. The local hospital suspected "infectious mononucleosis", thus intravenous ganciclovir was given and his blood was extracted to check for anti-EBV antibody simultaneously. After 6-days of intravenous ganciclovir, his body temperature still fluctuated at around: 38°C. Anti-EBVVCA-IgM(-), anti-VCA-IgG(+) 1. Do you think the doctor's diagnosis is correct?
