3. What is Lupus? Autoimmune disease Etiology is unknown combination of genetics (heredity), environment, and hormones is likely involved Autoantibodies Causes the immune system to attack the body’s own tissue and organs including: joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, blood and skin
4. How common is Lupus? At least 1.5 million Americans have lupus. The actual number may be higher; however, there have been no large-scale studies to show the actual number of people in the U.S. living with lupus. It is believed that 5 million people throughout the world have a form of lupus. Lupus strikes mostly women of childbearing age (15-44). However, men, children, and teenagers develop lupus, too. Women of color are 2-3 times more likely to develop lupus. People of all races and ethnic groups can develop lupus. More than 16,000 new cases of lupus are reported annually across the country.
17. Laboratory Evaluation Anti-nuclear antibody test (ANA) Other antibodies Double-stranded DNA antibodies Smith antibodies RNP antibodies (SSA) Ro antibodies (SSB) La antibodies
18. Childhood Onset LupusA Unique Subgroup Approximately one fourth of all systemic lupus cases start during childhood Most cases occur after age 5; peak incidence during late childhood and adolescence Cassidy and Petty,4th edition
19. Childhood Onset LupusA Unique Subgroup Females are affected more than males, particularly after puberty 0-9 yo: F:M is 4:3 10-14 yo: F:M is 4:1 15-19 yo: F:M is 5:1 Kidney disease and central nervous system dysfunction are more common in childhood onset SLE Cassidy and Petty,4th edition

22. Kawasaki’s Disease Fever>5 days Limbic sparing conjuctival injection (can also get anterior uveitis) Red, chapped, or cracked lips Red mucous membranes in the mouth Strawberry tongue, white coating on the tongue or prominent red bumps on the back of the tongue Red palms of the hands and the soles of the feet Peeling (desquamation) palms and soles (later in the illness); peeling may begin around the nails, groin. Rash which may take many forms, non-specific, polymorphic, non-itchy Swollen lymph nodes (frequently only one lymph node is swollen, and is usually on one side), particularly in the neck area >1.5cm). Joint pain and swelling, frequently symmetrical Irritability
34. HenochSchonleinPurpura (HSP) Inflammation of small blood vessels Deposition of immune complexes (IgA) in vessel walls Affects arterioles, capillaries, and post capillary venules; especially those in the skin, gut, and kidney.
35. Clinical Manifestations of HSPSkin Involvement Classically described as “palpable purpura”; commonly also petechial. Typically the rash doesn’t itch, but early in the course there can be an urticarial component. Tends to occur on buttocks, lower extremities. Described as gravity/pressure dependent.

38. Clinical Manifestations of HSPJoint Involvement Characterized by pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion of joints; tends to be peri-articular. HSP most commonly affects knees/ankles, although wrist, elbow, finger, toe involvement also common. May also see subcutaneous non-pitting edema, especially on dorsum of hands/feet, periorbitally.
39. Clinical Manifestations of HSPGI Involvement Diffuse abdominal pain/tenderness, can be severe and colicky. Due to bowel wall edema/bleeding. May also see hematemesis/melena.
40. Clinical Manifestations of HSPRenal Involvement Blood in urine Protein in urine High blood pressure Kidney insufficiency
42. Wegener’s Granulomatosis Inflammation of small blood vessels leading to necrosis and granuloma formation of upper, lower respiratory tracts and kidneys
44. Wegener’s granulomatosis Incidence ? 5 year incidence was 3.2 cases per 100,000 Disease onset before 20 yo accounted for 3.3%, giving an incidence in that age group of 0.1 cases per 100,000 Mean age of onset 15.4 years No clear sex predominance in peds (M>F in adults) Cotch MF and Hoffman GS et al, A & R, 39: 87-92, 1996
45. Wegener’s granulomatosis Sinus involvement with inflammation of nasal and tracheal cartilage Lung disease Cough, shortness of breath, coughing up blood Nodular pulmonary infiltrates Eye problems: blurred vision, eye pain, conjunctivitis, episcleritis, Hearing problems: persistent otitis media, hearing loss Joint and muscle pain Kidney disease May lead to kidney failure Skin disease May resemble HSP Can be ulcerative, vesicular, purpular or nodular
48. Clinical manifestationsRenal involvement Kidney Disease in 70-85% Usually preceded by non-kidney related ssymptoms for months Urine abnormal revealing blood and protein Variable onset and course Sometimes indolent (progression over months to years) Sometimes rapidly progressive (ESRD within days to weeks)
49. Wegener’s granulomatosis Diagnosis Requires typical changes on biopsy (lung, skin or kidney) Characteristic clinical presentation with antibodies directed at neutrophilcytoplasmic antigens (cANCAs)
