0-136 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Sequential erythema nodosum leprosum and reversal reaction with similar lesional cytokine mRNA patterns in a borderline leprosy patient. |
TextSentencer_T2 |
137-425 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We compare the clinical and histological data with the immunological status of a borderline leprosy patient who experienced an erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) reaction followed by a reversal reaction (RR) after 12 weeks of anti-inflammatory treatment (pentoxifylline, PTX, 1200 mg daily). |
TextSentencer_T3 |
426-524 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Skin biopsies, serum and blood samples were collected sequentially during the reactional episodes. |
TextSentencer_T4 |
525-725 |
Sentence |
denotes |
At the outset of RR, the patient's lymphocytes secreted interferon (IFN) -gamma and there was a positive lymphoproliferative test in response to Mycobacterium leprae, which had been absent during ENL. |
TextSentencer_T5 |
726-848 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The lepromin reaction reversed from negative (0 mm) at diagnosis, to positive (3 mm) 3 months after the development of RR. |
TextSentencer_T6 |
849-975 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) -alpha levels in the serum decreased after 1 week of treatment and increased slightly thereafter. |
TextSentencer_T7 |
976-1225 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The immunohistochemical data for ENL showed a diffuse dermal and hypodermal infiltrate composed of mononuclear cells and neutrophils, while RR was characterized by an epithelioid granulomatous infiltrate with a marked presence of gammadelta T cells. |
TextSentencer_T8 |
1226-1483 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction showed a mixed cytokine profile characterized by the expression of TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, interleukin (IL) -6, IL-10 and IL-12 mRNA in the skin, which persisted throughout the development of ENL and RR lesions. |
TextSentencer_T9 |
1484-1569 |
Sentence |
denotes |
IL-4 mRNA, first detected after 7 days of PTX treatment, was still present during RR. |
TextSentencer_T10 |
1570-1834 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The results suggest the emergence of an initial Th0-like cytokine profile in ENL, typical of a state of immunoactivation, before conditions optimal for the appearance of an antigen-specific cell-mediated immune response and gammadelta T-cell migration are created. |
