In addition to the deposition of lyso-gb3 secondary inflammatory mechanisms may play an important role in the pathophysiology of symptoms in Fabry’s disease. Read more!
We report the case of a 38-year-old female patient who had been diagnosed as lupus erythematosus because of generalized muscle and burning pain combined with slightly elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) and antinuclear antibodies (ANA) 1:640. Twelve years later, Fabry’s disease was diagnosed by molecular genetics. Lupus erythematosus and any other co-morbid rheumatologic diseases were falsified retrospectively and prospectively according to international classification criteria. This case illustrates, that in addition to the deposition of lyso-gb3 secondary inflammatory mechanisms may play an important role in the pathophysiology of symptoms in Fabry’s disease.
