Assessment of the Microbial Flora of the Genital Tract and the Morphofunctional State of the Endometrium in Antiphospholipid Syndrome | Chapter 17 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 2

 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an increased rate of loss of desired pregnancies determines not only the medical but also the social significance of the problem of miscarriage. Among the multiple causes of miscarriage, about 55-62% are defects in coagulation proteins or platelets, one of the manifestations of which is antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The primary purpose of the study is to assess the microbial flora of the genital tract and the morphological and functional state of the endometrium in women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) in order to study the interaction between the pathogenesis of APS and the inflammatory process. To assess the condition of women, the somatic and reproductive anamnesis, heredity, the nature of the diseases suffered, and the formation of menstrual and generative functions of women, including the outcomes of pregnancies (childbirth, spontaneous abortions, ectopic pregnancy) were studied. Currently, the available literature data indicate that the formation of obstetric and perinatal pathology largely depends on the presence of an infectious process in the mother. Since the main trigger mechanism in the development of inflammation is microbial invasion, a study of the bacteriological contamination of the genital tract and endometrium in women with antiphospholipid syndrome (AFS) was conducted. Research has shown that despite the presence of infection in women with APS, infectious agents are not pathogenetic in the complicated course of APS, which could lead to increased production of antiphospholipid antibodies.

A Diagnostic Difficulty on ANA Negative/ Seronegative Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with Diffuse Alveolar Haemorrhage | Chapter 10 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 For one month, a 45-year-old hypertensive lady suffered with a dry cough, dyspnea, and a crusted nonhealing lesion on her right ankle. Her anaemia, proteinuria, and thrombocytopenia were all getting worse. Pulmonary hypertension, a thrombus in the left internal jugular vein, and bilateral multilobar opacities were discovered on a CT pulmonary angiography. The right popliteal and left jugular veins have thrombus, according to a Doppler USG. Antiphospholipid antibodies were twice positive on serology, indicating a low C3, C4, negative ANA. Bronchoalveolar lavage confirmed diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH). Lymphocytic vasculitis was discovered during an ulcer biopsy, which is an indication of immune complex deposition disorder. After meeting the clinical and immunological criteria of the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics, ANA negative SLE with DAH was discovered (SLICC).
