research Tuberculosis Mimicking the Onset of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Flare: Case-Based Review
This case-based review analyzed three instances of tuberculosis (TB) mimicking systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flare, with patients aged 27 to 32 years. These cases lacked typical SLE features like butterfly erythema, lupus hair, alopecia, or proteinuria. The study found that TB could induce the production of various autoantibodies, such as anti-nuclear and anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies, which are usually seen in SLE. However, these autoantibodies did not change the clinical or radiographic presentation of TB and were not present after the infection resolved. The resistance of SLE-like symptoms to steroid and immunosuppressive treatments suggested an infectious cause. The findings highlight the importance of considering active TB in patients with SLE-like symptoms, especially when specific serological markers and hypocomplementemia are present.
research Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in India: A Clinico-Serological Correlation
The study on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in India, involving 40 patients, found that the mean age of onset was 23.3 years with a female to male ratio of 19:1. Common skin lesions included malar rash (77.5%), photosensitivity (70%), and non-scarring alopecia (60%). Systemic manifestations frequently observed were arthritis (77.5%) and nephritis (30%). Among patients with only cutaneous manifestations, a significant number had positive serological markers such as antinuclear antibody (85%) and anti-double-stranded DNA (57%). The findings suggest that early identification of SLE through skin lesions and serological profiles can precede systemic symptoms, highlighting the importance of environmental factors in the Indian context.

A double blind, placebo-controlled study that looked into the potential effectiveness of topical fluridil for treating male androgenetic alopecia, showing increased anagen to telogen ratios with no reported side effects on libido or sexual performance.
community Can someone explain the Dutasteride hysteria in this community?
The conversation is about the double standard in the hair loss community regarding shedding when using different treatments. The conclusion is that shedding is considered normal when starting finasteride or minoxidil, but not when starting dutasteride, despite the fact that dutasteride is more effective at reducing DHT.
