In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases , these defenses are turned against the body when antibodies are produced against its own cells. These antibodies fight against the body's blood cells, organs, and tissues, causing chronic diseases. The mechanism or cause of autoimmune diseases is not fully known.

Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder is an autoimmune process with symptoms of Scleroderma, Myositis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus , Rheumatoid Arthritis and/or other autoimmune diseases. It is a description of a group of symptoms occurring together. This is different from a diagnosis that describes the underlying process. It is a disorder of the immune system, which normally functions to protect the body against invading infections and cancers, and toxins. In Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, as in other autoimmune diseases parts of the complex immune system is over-active and produces increased amounts of abnormal antibodies that attack the patient's own organs. Sometimes MCTD is called Overlap Syndrome or Undifferentiated Mix Connective Tissue Disorder. Some writers discriminate between them claiming that each of these are different. Some argue MCTD is not a distinct entity at all, and is just one of the forms of Lupus or Scleroderma. MCTD can affect many parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, lungs, heart, endocrine, digestive, and nervous system, blood vessels which all are made up of connective tissue. There are reports of psychiatric disturbances similar to those found in Lupus. The signs and symptoms of MCTD differ from person to person, with the symptoms of either Lupus, or Scleroderma, or Myositis or other autoimmune disease being most prevalent. Since its manifestations can vary it is often misdiagnosed. The disease can range from mild to life threatening. It can be mild for many years, and then after about 20 years of having the disease a medical crisis may occur. The lungs and kidneys are particularly at risk. Lungs and kidneys symptoms are particularly serious involvement and should be monitored vigilantly by both the doctor and the patient.

In autoimmune diseases, the body harms its own healthy cells and tissues. This leads to inflammation and damage to various body tissues. Lupus can affect many parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain. Although people with the disease may have many different symptoms, some of the most common ones include extreme fatigue, painful or swollen joints (arthritis), unexplained fever, skin rashes, and kidney problems.

30. Lupus And Vasculitis Vasculitits is an inflammation of the blood vessels. It can occur alone or in conjunction with other diseases. This page explains the relationship between lupus and Vasculitis. Lots of good information, clear and well written. http://www.hamline.edu/lupus/articles/vasculitis.html

Lupus and Vasculitis Contents What is vasculitis? What causes vasculitis? Diseases associated with vasculitis Symptoms of Vasculitis ... Outcome What is vasculitis? Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels. Inflammation is a condition in which tissue is damaged by blood cells entering the tissues. These are mostly white blood cells which circulate and serve as our major defense against infection. Ordinarily, white blood cells destroy bacteria and viruses. However, they can also damage normal tissue if they invade it. Vasculitis can affect very small blood vessels (capillaries), medium-size blood vessels (arterioles or venules), or large blood vessels (arteries and veins). Several things can happen to an inflamed blood vessel. If it is a small vessel, it may bread and produce tiny areas of bleeding in the tissue. These areas will appear as small red or purple dots on the skin. If a larger vessel is inflamed, it may swell and produce a nodule which may be felt if the blood vessel is close to the skin surface. The inside of the vessel tube may become narrowed so that blood flow is reduced, or the inside may become totally closed (usually by a blood clot which forms at the site of inflammation). If blood flow is reduced or stopped, the tissues which receive blood from that vessel begin to die. For example, a person with vasculitis of a medium-sized artery in the hand may develop a cold finger which hurts whenever it is used; occasionally this can progress to gangrene. What causes vasculitis?

Lupus Clinical Overview H. Michael Belmont, M.D. Medical Director, Hospital for Joint Diseases New York University Medical Center Recommended Lupus Books Shop for Lupus Introduction Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, usually life-long, potentially fatal autoimmune disease characterized by unpredictable exacerbations and remissions with protean clinical manifestations. In SLE there is a predilection for clinical involvement of the joints, skin, kidney, brain, serosa, lug, heart and gastrointestinal tract. Women and minorities are disproportionately affected and SLE is most common in women of child-bearing age although it has ben reported in both extremes of life (e.g. diagnosed in infants and in the tenth decade of life). The prevalence in the Unites States had been estimated as approximately 500,000 but a recent telephone survey commissioned by the Lupus Foundation of America suggested a prevalence of as many as 2,000,000. A recent study identified a prevalence of 500 per 100,000 (1:200) in women residing in the area surrounding Birmingham, Alabama. The prognosis for patients with SLE has greatly improved over the last few decades with at least 80-90% of all patients surviving ten years. Thereafter life expectancy approximates that of age matched controls. This improvement reflects the general advancements in health care (i.e. dialysis, antibiotics, antihypertensives, newer immunosuppressives with more favorable efficacy to toxicity ration) but also the specialized care available for patients with SLE.

La maladie enfin nommée, nous avons cherché à nous informer sur cette maladie assez rare, orpheline, dont l'origine est encore incertaine. Et nous avons mesuré que la simple recherche d'informations était une démarche difficile, jalonnée d'innombrables questions : Où trouver des informations fiables et cependant accessibles au plus grand nombre ? Comment éviter le double danger de dramatiser ou de minimiser une maladie aussi complexe, multiforme et imprévisible ? Comment faire face à la solitude, aux handicaps réels bien que parfois invisibles que la maladie peut générer ? Comment faire comprendre aux malades la nécessité de forger leur propre vigilance ? Comment les mettre en garde contre les charlatans et leurs thérapeutiques dangereuses voire délirantes ? Comment convaincre des médecins qui ne seraient pas encore persuadés que les malades, leurs proches et eux-mêmes ont tout à gagner en organisant une information bien construite, une écoute attentive et une prise en charge bien coordonnée ?
