Disseminated Nocardiosis

Opportunistic infections are an ongoing concern in patients with autoimmune disease who are being treated with immunosuppressive agents. Nocardiosis is an uncommon opportunistic infection which has been reported in association with immunosuppressed patients and autoimmune disease. It is challenging to diagnose and can have multisystem manifestations. Failure to diagnose and appropriately treat can result in significant mortality. We present a 49 year old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder who was treated with mycophenolate mofetil, prednisone and recent plasmapheresis. She developed acute onset of shortness of breath and fevers and was ultimately diagnosed with disseminated nocardiosis with lung, brain and muscle abscesses.

Glomerular Lesions

Mice of the inbred NZB strain develop a spontaneous disease characterized by autoimmune hemolytic anemia, positive lupus erythematosus cell tests and antinuclear antibodies and nephritis. This disease is analogous to human systemic lupus erythematosus. In ultrastructural studies of the glomerular lesion in NZB mice, intraglomerular dense deposits in mesangial, subepithelial and subendothelial locations were described. In common with the findings in many examples of human and experimental nephritis, including many cases of human lupus nephritis, these deposits were amorphous or slightly granular in appearance with no definable substructure.We have recently observed structured deposits in the glomeruli of NZB mice. They were uncommon and were found in older animals with severe glomerular lesions by morphologic criteria. They were seen most commonly as extracellular elements in subendothelial and mesangial regions. The deposits ranged up to 3 microns in greatest dimension and were often adjacent to deposits of lipid-like round particles of 30 to 250 millimicrons in diameter and with amorphous dense deposits.
