Budd-Chiari syndrome associated to Behcet disease: An observational retrospective multicenter study in Morocco.

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is considered a rare but serious complication of Behçet's disease (BD). This study was performed to define the prevalence, clinical and biological features, treatment, and clinical course of BSC associated with BD in a Moroccan population. We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 1578 patients fulfilling the international diagnostic criteria for BD, including those with BSC.

Mycophenolate Mofetil Use in Severe Myocarditis Complicating Systemic Lupus.

Cardiac involvement represents an increasingly frequent complication in systemic lupus, with pericarditis being the most classic cardiac manifestation. However, the most severe and fatal form seems to be myocarditis. We present the case of a patient with systemic lupus complicated by cardiogenic shock secondary to troponin-negative acute myopericarditis and successfully treated with mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroid therapy.
