Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare condition, metabolic disorder of the haem biosynthesis. An acute crisis AIP can present as combination symptoms, such abdominal pain, autonomic dysfunction, hyponatremia, muscle weakness and neurological symptoms in absence others obvious causes. We report case 53-year-old woman, who was previously diagnosed with 5 weeks after therapeutic suspension has developed an disease exacerbation. During hospitalisation, further exacerbation occurred...
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease, characterised by histopathologic presence of non-necrotising granulomas, primarily affecting the lungs (>90%). We present three cases predominantly uncommon extrapulmonary manifestations sarcoidosis, where only one had pulmonary involvement. describe female patients, between second and third decades life, whose sarcoidosis was diagnostic challenge due to their atypical manifestations, from which we highlight: livedo reticularis painful subcutaneous...
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare chronic liver disease with non-specific clinical presentation. Its physiopathology not fully understood and, if untreated, can progress to cirrhosis and even fulminant failure. Here, we describe case of 73-year-old patient an 11-month history suggestive disease, who was concomitantly diagnosed AIH the extremely postinfantile giant cell (PIGCH). Despite standard immunosuppressive therapy, presented severe course, culminating in acute-on-chronic failure...
Urticarial vasculitis (UV) is a rare entity characterised by long-lasting recurrent episodes of urticarial lesions. Although frequently idiopathic, UV has been associated with multiple diseases, including infections. We present case Lyme disease (LD) as trigger normocomplementemic UV, very rarely described association. The patient presented first inflammatory polyarthritis and positive serology for Borrelia burgdorferi, later followed the appearance lesions, histologically suggestive UV....
Relapsing polychondritis is a rare, immune-mediated disease characterised by inflammation of cartilaginous structures. Auricular chondritis, sparing the fatty lobule, most typical feature, followed nose and laryngotracheal involvement. Albeit neurologic involvement reported with relapsing polychondritis. Cranial nerve frequent manifestation probably due to an underlying vasculitic process. Approximately one-third patients can overlap other systemic diseases, including autoimmune connective...

After detailed investigation, diagnosis RP due solvent exposure was made. The patient treated calcium channel blocker in low doses, hypotension, without...
