A case of relapsing polychondritis (RP) with severe respiratory tract involvement is reported. The patient's subsequent course included ulcerative colitis and further collapse of nasal cartilage. Antibody titers to cartilage were serially determined by indirect immunofluorescence and levels of circulating immune complexes (CIC) by 3 different techniques. The exacerbations of RP appeared to be reflected by the elevation of anticartilage antibody titers and some elevation in the levels of CIC as detected by the polyethylene glycol method.
报告了一例复发性多软骨炎(RP)伴严重呼吸道受累的病例。患者随后的病程包括溃疡性结肠炎和鼻软骨进一步塌陷。通过间接免疫荧光法连续测定软骨抗体滴度,并采用3种不同技术检测循环免疫复合物(CIC)水平。RP的病情加重似乎表现为抗软骨抗体滴度升高以及用聚乙二醇法检测到的CIC水平有所升高。
