Case Reports MULTIPLE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES Nattaporn Tesavibul, M.D. ABSTRACT Purpose and Methods: Multiple autoimmune disorders occur with increased frequency in patients with a previous history of another autoimmune disease. We present the patient who initially presented with ocular cicatricial pemphigoid OU, history of hypothyroidism and chronic erosive ulcers in the mouth. Continued follow up, careful examination and repeated biopsies of the mouth ulcers reveal lichen planus of the mouth. Conclusion: This case highlights the need for awareness of the possibility of multiple autoimmune phenomena which also indicates the need for continued surveillance for the development of new autoimmune diseases in predisposed patients. CLINICAL CASE This is a case of 71 year old white female who was referred by her primary ophthalmologist for evaluation and management of probable ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) in both eyes. She had had intermittent episodes of blepharitis and conjunctivitis OU for 6 years which were relieved with Tobrex. Recurrent sores of lips, tongue and under the nose were noted. She also complained of mild discomfort on swallowing. An esophagoscopy and esophageal biopsy had been performed in 1993. The results were non diagnostic. Her past medical history was significant for epilepsy since early childhood and hypothyroidism diagnosed a few years prior to presentation.

SYMPOSIUM ON ALLERGY Recognizing Drug Allergy How to differentiate true allergy from other adverse drug reactions Michael E. Weiss, MD VOL 117 / NO 5 / MAY 2005 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE CME learning objectives To become familiar with the various types of adverse reactions to medications that can occur To understand the diagnostic tests available to help ascertain the cause of an adverse medication reaction To learn the importance of a detailed patient history in proper diagnosis of medication reactions The author discloses no financial interests in this article. Preview : Adverse reactions to medications are an unfortunate but common part of modern medical practice. Although only a fraction of all adverse drug reactions represent an immunologic response, it is important to identify patients who have had an allergic reaction to a particular medication or class of medications. Dr Weiss discusses the various types of adverse drug reactions that can occur and describes the diagnostic measures available for determining whether a patient's reaction is a true drug allergy. A dverse drug reactions are important and frequent complications of medication therapy. An estimated 5% to 15% of patients have adverse reactions to medications. Up to 30% of hospitalized patients experience at least one adverse drug reaction; in addition, about 3% of acute-care medical admissions and 0.3% of hospital admissions are attributed to such reactions(1). Only 5% to 10% of all adverse drug reactions are attributed to allergic (ie, immunologic) reactions. The first step in proper diagnosis of an adverse drug reaction is to understand the different types of reactions that can occur.
