- Linfadenomegalia e febre em chefe de cozinha durante viagem à Europa(2015) KAWANO-DOURADO, Leticia; PEIRERA, Daniel Antunes Silva; KAWASSAKI, Alexandre de Melo; DOLHNIKOFF, Marisa; SILVA, Marcos Vinicius da; KAIRALLA, Ronaldo AdibThis case illustrates a rare presentation (as lymphadenopathy and fever) of one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide brucellosis in a 22-year-old Brazilian male (a chef) who had recently returned to Brazil after having lived in and traveled around Europe for one year. The histopathology, clinical history, and response to treatment were all consistent with a diagnosis of brucellosis, which was confirmed by PCR in a urine sample. We also review some aspects of brucellosis, such as the clinical features, diagnosis, and management.
bookPart Doenças Pulmonares Induzidas por Drogas(2016) KAWASSAKI, Alexandre de Melo; PRADO, Gustavo Faibischew; KAIRALLA, Ronaldo Adib- lnterpretacao da positividade de autoanticorpos na doenca pulmonar intersticial e colagenose pulmao dominante(2013) PEREIRA, Daniel Antunes Silva; KAWASSAKI, Alexandre de Melo; BALDI, Bruno GuedesThe initial evaluation of patients with interstitial lung disease (1LD) primarily involves a comprehensive, active search for the cause. Autoantibody assays, which can suggest the presence of a rheumatic disease, are routinely performed at various referral centers. When interstitial lung involvement is the condition that allows the definitive diagnosis of connective tissue disease and the classical criteria are met, there is little debate. However, there is still debate regarding the significance, relevance, specificity, and pathophysiological role of autoimmunity in patients with predominant pulmonary involvement and only mild or benign symptoms of connective tissue disease. The purpose of this article was to review the current knowledge of autoantibody positivity and to discuss its possible interpretations in patients with 1LD and without clear etiologic associations, as well as to enhance the understanding of the natural history of an allegedly new disease and to describe the possible prognostic implications. We also discuss the proposition of a new term to be used in the classification of 1LDs: lung-dominant connective tissue disease.
